Pearl S. Buck, the 1st American Woman to win both the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes for Literature, and who is best known for her second novel, The Good Earth, wrote more than 100 novels at her Green Hills Farm just outside Dublin. A writer of every genre, including monthly magazine-published short stories, Miss Buck said, “In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write.”
