Step into a time capsule and explore the flora, fauna, and
fishermen of the Isles of Shoals. Originally published in 1873,
this book is a firsthand account of shipwrecks, storms, and simple
lives 10 miles off the coast of New England. Celia Thaxter was a
poet, artist, and noted gardener who spent much of her life on
White, Smuttynose, and Appledore islands.She made the acquaintance
of such luminous contemporaries as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Childe
Hassam, William Wadsworth Longfellow, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. This
book shines with attention to the smallest detail as Thaxter
watches the seasons pass, the islanders age, and the times change
in a tiny, seemingly abandoned corner of the world.
This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for
quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in
an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
