Reviews & Recs of books about Maine, set in Maine, and by Maine authors.
Chickens, Gin, and a Maine Friendship
A book that includes writing from E.B. White, do I have to say much more? Probably not, but I will.
Chickens, Gin, and A Maine Friendship is a compilation of the letters sent between E.B. White and Edmund Ware Smith during the 1950s and 1960s. Though the two lived within driving distance of each other in coastal Maine, they were not frequent visitors of each other.
The Stranger In The Woods
What could there possibly be new to say about The North Pond Hermit? If you live in most any part of Maine, but especially Central Maine, you were bombarded with news about The Hermit/Christopher Knight when he was captured by the Maine Warden Service in 2013. Then, you were bombarded with news about him as he went to trial. And again when Michael Finkel published his GQ article on the topic. Finkel expanded that article to bring the world The Stranger In The Woods, a tale of the hermit and of Finkel’s relationship with him.
