From memoirs and biographies to fiction and non-fiction, farm life books offer readers a glimpse into the world of farming and the values and traditions that shape it.
Satire is a genre of literature that uses humor, irony, exaggeration—or sometimes sharp critique—to expose and criticize human vices, follies, and shortcomings.
