A revealing portrait of a charming individualist illustrating that age need not be a barrier to continued productivity and creativity. Ruth Stout, now in her tenth decade, remains active writing books, contributing regularly to periodicals, lecturing and perfecting her ‘no dig/no work’ method of gardening.
