With an Introduction by Marjorie Pryse
This edition of The Country of the Pointed Firs makes an American classic available in the form in which it was originally published in 1896. An edition published after the author's death had incorporated three "Dunnett Landing" stories into the novel as additional chapters; these stories appear here in a seperate section, along with a fourth story belonging to this group and four more tales. The four Dunnett Landing stories are "A Dunnett Shepheress," "The Foreigner," "The Queen's Twin," and "William's Wedding"; the four additional tales are "A White Heron," "Miss Tempy's Watchers," "Martha's Lady," and "Aunt Cynthy Dallett." Here in the fictional town of Dunnett's Landing on the coast of Maine, Sarah Orne Jewett introduces peoplenow mostly women, as many of the town's men have been lost at sea or moved away in this era of whaling's declinewho have lived next to the sea for generations and seem to share its strength, silence and mystery. In prose of exquisite simplicity, Jewett draws a resonant portrait of people creating and tending bonds of relationship in a landscape buffetted by the forces of isolation as well as nature's severity.
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."
