"Boulton's musings are as soft as a lamb's fleece. The 57 pieces in the
collection, classified by the four seasons, capture some key elements of rural living ... Another good choice for the humour prize."
- Charles Macli, The Globe and Mail
"There is a sense of buccolic wonder here, touches of honest sentimentality and a genuine affection for creatures large and small. I think Leacock would approve."
- Pete McGarvey, Orillia Packet and Times
"It's official – Marsha Boulton is funny!"
- John McKay, The Canadian Press
READ A "LETTER" FROM THE COUNTRY!
"This Leacock Award winner is humour on the lamb."
- Maclean's Magazine
"If you're thinking about a move to rural digs, Letters From the Country is must reading."
- Wendy Dudley, The Calgary Herald
"An affectionate, humorous and personal account of a city woman's leap into life "down on the farm" ... Boulton's voice of experience makes her book a unique achievement."
- Professor David Staines, University of Ottawa
"If nothing else, you'll know why sheep sometimes have crayon marks on their backsides.... a sweet collection, sprinkled with insights about the realities of moving to the country."
- Robert Howard, The Hamilton Spectator
"One of those rare books that will appeal to almost every reader. A sequel would be more than welcome."
- Nancy Schiefer, The London Free Press
