First published in 1896  and set in a small town on the rugged Maine coast  these rich vignettes were praised by Henry James as a beautiful little quantum of achievement. Jewetts vision was of a gentle and generous people who live in this fishing village on a rugged and dangerous coast  a New England limned in colors of high summer and blue skies. The values in these stories  and the lives of these people  still speak to us  and touch our hearts  today.  You will meet the people of Dunnets landing; the women  who are probably the most unforgettable characters of her book; and Elijah Tilley (among the very few men in Jewetts cast) who  after the death of his wife  learns the skills of husband and wife  of farm and sea. The Country of Pointed Firs is essential reading for anyone who loves classics of American literatureor a story that resonants deeply within.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280444350517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0879238941","price":36.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780879238940.jpg?v=1780636445","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-country-of-the-pointed-firs-9780879238940","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
