Like the Vermont folk he writes about in his novel, he was raised as a boy in the Shaker Way, which endured even after the sect itself had died out. Its view of life is embodied in the character of his young protagonist's father, who believed that a faith is more blessed when put to use than when put to word: \"A man's worship counts for naught, unless his dog and cat are the better for it.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Robert Newton Peck \/ Mass Market Paperbound \/ English","offer_id":48912216490141,"sku":"9780679853060","price":9.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/a-day-no-pigs-would-die-9780679853060","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
