Originally published in 1960, this beautiful novel, by one of
America s best loved writers, is an absorbing family chronicle of
the early twentieth century. Set half in England and half in her
native state of Maine, the narrative allows the author to make
splendid use of this dual setting to depict with affection the two
areas she loved best in the world. John Tillyard, a Wesleyan
parson, brings his wife and three children from England when he
takes over a Methodist parish in downeast Maine. The descriptions
of farming in Suffolk, of the lambing meadows, and of the weekly
market are delightful, as are the experiences of the Tillyard
family both in Old England and New. This evocative and engaging
story is sure to delight and enchant readers."
