The Country of the Pointed Firs

Name: The Country of the Pointed Firs
Author: Sarah Orne Jewett

by Sarah Orne Jewett

An 1849 story suite about a village on the coast of Maine. Its setting and characters are so vivid that I think of Dunnet Landing as a place I’ve been, where I’m very fond of the people. And the beauty of it is, I can go back there whenever I want.
