Far Out Isn't Far Enough

More about the book

In the early 1970s Tomi Ungerer, the artist and children's storyteller, moved with his wife Yvonne to a farmstead on the wild Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. For several years he lived there a life of self-sufficiency, painting, writing, sculpting; and also learning, with Yvonne, to be a farmer, a herdsman and, where necessary, a butcher. This is a record, in vivid words and enchanting pictures of the years they spent there; observing the wild animals, their own domestic flock and the lives of their dour, hardy neighbors i the small town of Gull Harbor. The result is an extraordinary record and revelation.
