John Barleycorn or Mon Docteur le Vin

John Barleycorn

Author: Jack London

It all came to me one election day. It was on a warm California afternoon and I had ridden down into the Valley of the Moon from the ranch to the little village to vote Yes and No to a host of proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State of California.

Upton Sinclair

Assuredly one of the most useful, as well as one of the most entertaining books ever penned by a man.

Mon Docteur le Vin (My Doctor, Wine)

Author: Gaston Derys

Raoul Dufy's joyful watercolors and Gaston Derys' witty prose come together in this charming volume to extol the many joys and benefits of wine. First published in French in 1936, the book reflects the exuberance and élan of an earlier day, when a glass of wine was a frequent medicinal and therapeutic remedy.
