DESCRIPTION
Company Coming: Six Decades of Hospitality (Ruth Stout Classics)
"Gues who's coming to dinner?"With Ruth Stout, you never knew! Would it be sweet-tempered
temperance activist, Carrie Nation, who smashed the windows of illegal saloons with a hatchet? Would it
be her younger brother, Rex Stout, who finagled his way onto Teddy Roosevelt's presidential yacht and
later became famous for his Nero Wolfe mysteries? Would it be Dr. Poulin, the famous hypnotist?
Simple-living guru Scott Nearing? Not to mention friends, neighbors, starving artists, and refugees.Ruth
Stout tells the story of her life in terms of who showed up for dinner, and she describes the way she and
her husband Fred turned their barn into simple visitor accommodations, turning guests into neighbors
and avoiding Ben Franklin's maxim that "fisand visitors stink after three days."Themain flaw of
this book is that it's too short! Major events like Ruth's work in Russia during the great famine in the
Twenties are mentioned only briefly, and when we realize that the New York brownstone that they lived
in for a while became Nero Wolfe's house in her brother Rex's detective stories, we'd like fuller
descriptions and, if possible, floor plans!But for everything that isn't there, there's something that is,
making the book funny and wise and full of surprises, like all of Ruth's writing.Ruth Stout was a beloved
advocate of organic gardening, and her book, "Garening Without Work,"and her magazine
articles popularized her style of simple living to millions.Company Coming was first published in 1958,
and Norton Creek Press is proud to offer it to a new generation. See http://www.nortoncreekpress.com
