Featured here is the title, Farewell Thou Busy World, by John Hodgdon Bradley, decorations by Paul Landacre. The Primavera Press. Los Angeles, California: 1935. 102 pages. Woodcut illustrations. John Hodgdon Bradley (1898 - 1962) was a distinguished scientist and author, and Paul Hambleton Landacre (1893 - 1963) was a Southern California style wood engraver. Book excerpt - Page 9: These pages record the simple adventures of one who has yielded to the call of the wilderness. They sedulously avoid every serious concern of man. They deal with runaway experiences on the other side of the world, where the animals live; with time stolen from customary pursuits; with the fruitless babble of mountain streams and the idle thoughts of people who love them. They attempt neither to instruct, nor to excite; but rather to lead the reader away from turmoil, of which just possibly he has had enough. Those who see chiefly mosquitoes in the woods, dirt in the desert, and dampness at sea had better turn away. They would not understand. Thanks for visiting, and have a beautiful day! shelf-15
