Flee to the Fields

Flee to the Fields is a collection of essays by the leaders of the English Catholic Land Movement explaining the whys and wherefores of life on the land. Spearheaded by men such as Fr. Vincent McNabb, O.P., Commander Herbert Shove, D.S.O., R.N., Harold Robbins, and others, the Movement was a practical embodiment of the salutary truth that economic life must be rooted in the basics of agriculture, property ownership, and freedom. As a practical realization of all of those truths and more, the Catholic Land Movement stands as a model for the modern man who wishes to be radical in his re-assessment of the modern economic system, and in his efforts to get to the root of the problem. The agrarian vision is one that has stood and will stand the test of time as a pillar of civilization. This book expresses that vision in the words of some of England's greatest essayists on the subject. Originally published: London, 1934.
