Contentment

A gentle meditation on the art of being satisfied, written by the man who gave the world 'Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.' Eugene Field turns his keen eye and lighter wit toward that most elusive of qualities: contentment. Through essay, verse, and observation, he explores what it means to find peace not in grand achievements but in the small, Often-overlooked pleasures of everyday existence. A cup of coffee, a quiet afternoon, the company of dear friends - these become the stuff of genuine happiness in Field's affectionate hands. Written with the same warmth that made his children's verse beloved generations, 'Contentment' offers quiet wisdom for readers weary of chasing greater things. It is a book to be savored slowly, preferably in a comfortable chair, with no pressing appointments anywhere.
