The Reluctant Farmer of Whimsey Hill

A great humorous account of life with a woman who loves animals and the animals she loves. My life revolves around a husband, two rescue dogs, 5 chickens, 13 goats and a jerk rooster. The antics in this book reflect everyday life. Thank you for making it funny.

My day had been too stressful. I was looking for something lighthearted to relax with and wind down. I read the entire book in one sitting. It was entertaining and the descriptions were vivid.

This is not a novel -- it is a personable, home-spun, account of the surprised and surprising life of a city dweller cast into farm life in order to follow the love of his life. Against that standard, it is quite good.

I would recommend this to anyone who ever wanted to live on a farm, because it gives a very realistic picture while being funny, sensible, heartwarming, and sometimes sad. I laughed so much!

As a positive reactor in sometimes negative situations, his sense of humor and genuine kindness sheds a loving shadow over his entire realm of family and friends. As I read his concern for his wife's approval throughout trials and irritations, I looked at myself and saw that his attitude of peace at all cost will improve my marriage! I truly value this book as a guide to real family happiness. The positive lessons and true love shown to his children are priceless..

This was a fun book to read. First of all, it got somewhere. The narrative had it's ups and down (as any good story does) but along the way I laughed. There aren't too many books that can keep you intrigued, give you a sense of progress, make you hold your breath over impending disaster, and keep you laughing anyway. If you like the country and kids and plants and pets--including cats, dogs, horses, cows and whatall--you'll like this book! I wish I could find more like it. It's a keeper.

Humourous autobiography of city boy meets country life!

I really enjoyed this book. Having the opportunity to sit and laugh out loud makes it easier to face the day. I have retold some of the stories to family and friends while encouraging them to read this book.

A great read you really feel like you’re there with them at Whimsey Hill

Loved the characters in this book. I totally identified with Nancy, as I used to rescue horses, dogs, etc. She was so blessed to have such a supportive husband. Simply a lovely, humerous, well-written book.

Excellent read..delivered in great condition and in plenty of time

Fabulous book Great humour.

I was engrossed in this book from page 1. As an animal lover it brought a gentle sense of familiarity in its descriptions. The author’s subtle sense of humour and keen observations concerning the family, other people and assorted pets brought a welcome window into what’s still decent and honest in the USA when nowadays so much seems to have deteriorated or be replaced by just the opposite.
