Publisher :
In 1903 when “The Land of Little Rain” was first published it became an instant success. It has continued to attract and enchant readers ever since that time. It was one of the first books to be written in a popular style about the animals, plants and people of a Southwest desert area. Mary Austin wrote it from her own observations and experiences in the field. She lived the book. It is also one of the first to express the need for the conservation of our natural resources. Carl Van Doren once wrote that Austin should have the degree M.A.E.–Master of American Environment. The book, a work of authenticity and originality still has meaning for twenty-first century readers.
