The Woefield Farm Poultry Collective is one of my all time favourite books. Charming, riotous and at times heart breaking, it is the tale of a delightful young New Yorker, Prudence Burns, who inherits her uncle's derelict farm in British Columbia, and with the help of a band of quirky, marginalized characters, brings it back to life. Nominated for the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour and the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year Award, it is the perfect laugh out loud read. Republic of Dirt is the sequel to this witty yarn. The story of Prudence, and her band of lost souls continues to entertain and enlighten us with insights into the reality of small acreage farming and the perils of living out your dreams in the country. Told in several voices, it is another charmer from a talented young writer.
