Far Out Isn't Far EnoughFar Out Isn't Far Enough

"Tired of the hectic pace of 1970s New York, acclaimed graphic designer Tomi Ungerer and his wife Yvonne hit the road in search of a new, simpler life on an isolated peninsula in Nova Scotia, Canada. In a 12-month diary, Ungerer records the couple’s triumphs and calamities as they discover the highs and lows of life in the wilderness--finding small town life to be very different from city living and the people even more so. Ungerer’s witty descriptions are accompanied by more than 150 beautiful and evocative drawings of his surroundings, his domestic flock and the local flora and fauna, creating a vivid impression of their rural existence. First published in 1983, this revised, updated and expanded edition will engage a new generation of readers with Ungerer’s pioneering and quirky attempt at self-sufficiency, delighting armchair adventurers and nature lovers alike."--Provided by publisher.
