Early Stories of Dorothy Canfield
Author: Dorothy Canfield FisherPublisher: Cherry Tree Book
ISBN: 9780966683233
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
Early Stories of Dorothy Canfield - edited and with an introduction by Ida H. Washington. Long before American author Dorothy Canfield (1879-1958) won popularity and international acclaim with novels and short stories about social problems, she was writing essays and short stories in school notebooks. These early writings were never published but were kept in the archives of the University of Vermont. For scholars of American literature the early stories are important as foreshadowing of the mature author's narrative skill. For the general reader they are charming little sketches from the various environments that contributed a rich and diverse background to the experience of the mature author. Two narratives come from the years Dorothy spent in Paris with her artist mother Flavia Canfield. Two others are from rural Vermont, where Dorothy spent childhood summers with her fathers relatives. One is built on an early awareness of the human problems often hidden in larger historical events, in this case, the American Civil War. Critical material by Canfield biographer Ida H. Washington sets the stories in their historical and biographical context. Available from Cherry TreeBooks - $8.00 plus shipping.
Vermont Vignettes in Word and Line

ISBN: 9780966683226
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
If you love folklore stories from the past, this is the book for you! Here we have a collection of stories, many never published, about the "good old days" in Vermont. In word and line they show life in an earlier era and particularly the clever rogues living it. The collection grows out of a collaboration between three "Vermonters by choice." Germaine LeClair came as a child from Canada to Vermont, where she has spent most of her life on a farm, A natural storyteller, she shares old family stories, part of a rich cultural heritage. Ida Washington retired from teaching to write historical books about Vermont. In the course of her research she turned up many tales too good to let disappear into obscurity. Shelia Mitchinson came to Vermont with her preacher husband, studied, art and became a professional illustrator specializing in drawings of Vermont landscape and people. The result of this collaboration is a group of stories form the past that show the spunk and vigor and just plain cussedness that are still a part of Vermonters today. Available from Cherry Tree Books - $4.95 plus shipping.

The Farm in the Green Mountains
Author: Alice Herdan-ZuckmayerPublisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681370751
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The charming, return-to-the-land memoir of a refugee family who flees Nazi Germany and finds their true home in the backwoods of rural Vermont Alice and Carl Zuckmayer lived at the center of Weimar-era Berlin. She was a former actor turned medical student, he was a playwright, and their circle of friends included Stefan Zweig, Alma Mahler, and Bertolt Brecht. But then the Nazis took over, and Carl’s most recent success—a play satirizing German militarism—impressed them in all the wrong ways. The couple and their two daughters were forced to flee, first to Austria, then to Switzerland, and finally to the United States. Los Angeles didn’t suit them, neither did New York, but a chance stroll in the Vermont woods led them to Backwoods Farm and the eighteenth-century farmhouse where they would spend the next five years. In Europe, the Zuckmayers were accustomed to servants; in Vermont, they found themselves building chicken coops, refereeing fights between fractious ducks, and caring for temperamental water pipes “like babies.” But in spite of the endless work and the brutal, depressing winters, Alice found that in America she had at last discovered her “native land.” This generous, surprising, and witty memoir, a best seller in postwar Germany, has all the charm of an unlikely romantic comedy.
