9. WIZARD OF OZ, by L. Frank Baum.
   Too much fun, too good, with the theme of "no place like home," just like the values of the agrarian age.

8. SONS & LOVERS, by D.H. Lawrence.
   Great description of a boy growing up in the agrarian world, entering the industrial age at the very beginnings.

7. MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, by Booth Tarkington.
  Made into a classic movie by Orson Welles, it tells of the decline of a wealthy family of the agrarian age, swept away not only in finances but values and attitudes by the 20th century.
