She made this her home, lonesome as 'twas; she told me she hadn't been in France since she was 'so small,' and measured me off a child o' six. She'd lived right out in the country before, so that part wa'n't unusual to her. Oh yes, there was something very strange about her.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis selection of the admirable, but little- known stories by Sarah Orne Jewett, whose picture of New England life in The Country of the Pointed Firs has proved to be one of the most enduring American books of its time, has been made by that most discriminating critic, Mr. Edward Garnett. They show to the full the author's fine sensibility to character and landscape, and to the quiet and beautiful mode of life which she knew and understood so well. There are several of these thirteen stories which deserve to take their place with the very best of their kind and time, and not one that will not give a particular pleasure to the reader who prefers sensitiveness to bluntness, quietness to emphasis, beauty to crudity. In a word, they hold in themselves the lasting and living quality of real literature. With an introduction by Rebecca West

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBest known for her masterpiece, The Country of the Pointed Firs, Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909) is a writer with enormous resonance for our time. Our fascination with place, with traditional values, and our yearning for a rural utopia all find fulfillment in Jewett's portrayal of the "grand and simple lives" of coastal Maine. In this delicious portrait, Paula Blanchard (biographer of Margaret Fuller and Emily Carr) plunges us into New England literary life in turn-of-the-century Boston, into the circles of Henry James, Lowell, Howell, Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. She delves into Jewett's close friendships with women, from the young Willa Cather and the flamboyant "Mrs. Jack" Gardner, and especially to Annie Fields, her partner in a sustaining "Boston marriage." Her enthralling and insightful glimpses into Jewett's fiction will send readers racing back to a writer of whose work Kipling said "it is the very life."
