This was a delightful read which did not take more than a couple of lazy afternoons. I did get distracted by reading the lengthy intorduction, so suggest that in this edition, you skip that part written by Sarah Way Sherman. Otherwise, it was such a lovely book with colorful characters, thoughtful narrative and beautiful imagery. You can almost hear the native Maine dialect come thru the pages as you read about the author's involvement in the little coastal community.
