An arguably timeless dive into a geographical area I knew nothing about - it's inhabitants, geology, topography and fascinating history. A lovely two afternoons of enjoyable reading! Review: John McPhee is a pleasure for the mine. Reading this book was like poetry in prose. - Perhaps one of the greatest writers in English alive today John McPhee's stories about the Pine Barrens is an beautiful display of the writing ability and storytelling on this great writer. I only read about ten of his books but this one is special. I had never heard of the New Jersey Pine Barrens now I know more than I could expect from this book writers decades ago. I feel at peace reading this story abut life in the Pine Barrens. I learned about this geographic location and its people over two hundred years. I learned how to tell a story with grace and respect. Thank you John McPhee ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #135,621 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in Mid Atlantic US Travel Books #129 in Nature Writing & Essays #361 in U.S. State & Local History | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (573) | | Dimensions | 5.45 x 0.45 x 8.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0374514429 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0374514426 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 1978 | | Publisher | Farrar, Straus and Giroux | ## Images ![The Pine Barrens - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QUiFYplmL.jpg) ![The Pine Barrens - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41koT1heoVL.jpg) ![The Pine Barrens - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717NzF4nGNL.jpg) ![The Pine Barrens - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YALoTb3VL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ McPhee at his most readable *by M***N on July 19, 2024* I've read almost all of John McPhee's books and this is one of my two favorites.

Thank you John McPhee ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Page Turning Book About the Pine Barrens *by D***F on September 26, 2018* Normally, a book about a large body of land would bore me. However, John McPhee weaves in fascinating stories about the "Pineys", who live there, and very interesting pieces of history. It's like you're there with him. My only peeve is that I wish that he'd covered more about the Quakers in the Pine Barrens area, like in Burlington County, NJ. And, wish that when he wrote about John Wharton, a large philanthropic landowner, included that Wharton was a Quaker. The little McPhee mentioned about Quakers was brief, and not that positive. So, I don't understand why Quakers weren't covered a bit more, and more positively. Sadly, many people I meet, confuse Quakers with the Amish. Lots of misconceptions. Quakers/Friends were in many cases, very liberal/open-minded, outspoken and forward thinking people. And, were industrious, successful, business people. Including around the Pine Barrens areas of NJ. And beyond. Quakers also founded many exceptional colleges (Penn, Cornell, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Johns Hopkins, Haverford, etc.), and the "Friends" schools, including Sidwell Friends in DC. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Pine Barrens - Coming into the Country - The Control of Nature --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1698783-the-pine-barrens](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1698783-the-pine-barrens) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
