Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

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.
