| Summary | "Child and Country: A Book of the Younger Generation" by Will Levington Comfort is a reflective work blending memoir and philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. The author shares his journey of home-making in the country, intertwining themes of nature, child-rearing, and self-discovery, particularly through the lens of educational philosophy. Throughout the narrative, Comfort examines the challenges and joys of cultivating a life away from the chaos of city living, emphasizing the importance of nurturing the inner lives of children and appreciating the simple pleasures of country life. At the start of the book, Comfort reflects on his previous experiences in the city, contrasting them with the revitalizing peace found in the countryside. He details the decision to move to a lake shore residence with his family, illustrating the sense of longing for a simpler life and the joy of reconnecting with nature. As the narrative unfolds, Comfort introduces the realities of parenting and education, revealing a deep concern for the welfare of children in the modern world and an eagerness to explore the balance between structured learning and natural growth. This opening lays the foundation for an exploration of the transformative journey of self-discovery and education that follows, inviting readers to consider the impact of environment on individual and collective well-being.
