The Apple Blossom Poets

It all started at a place called Sky Farm. There two brilliant poets were born who would bring the intricate beauty of nature to the lives of thousands starting a frenzy of adulation. What happened to these two young ladies who were once a household word and whose pictures hung on the walls of American homes in the late eighteen hundreds?

The story of The Apple Blossom Poets written and read by Mary King Austin guides you through an extraordinary upbringing in a pristine country side that inspired some of the most beautiful poetry in the English language.
