New York: Simon and Schuster, 1969. "The Inland Island' is a powerful, evocative and lyrical description of nature's changes, wonders and tragedies, recorded in the twelve months of the year by a marvelously perceptive and original observer, Pulitzer Prize winning author.... Josephine Johnson. 'The Insland Island' is a nature book. Like Thoreau, Miss Johnson goes far beyond a mere description of nature. Her 'inland island' is both her own farm.... an enclosure of wilderness surrounded by an ever more savage and intrusive society.... and the burning core of her convictions about man's cruelty, the demands of individual conscience at the time of war and conflict, her own determination to resist an increasingly brutalized and mechanical civilization. The book is a work of extraordinary force, beauty and distinction, in which Miss Johnson has succeeded in showing us the image of ourselves, against the minutely observed background of nature's endless progress. Illustrated title page. Chapter heading illustrations are provided for each month of the year. Beige cloth boards... decoration to front board and spine. Light-color spotting to top and bottom extremities of the boards. Bookplate to fep, name to ffep. Price-intact illustrated dust jacket. . Third Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Near Fine.
