Among the Isles of Shoals
1873
This book presents Celia Thaxter's personal account of life on the Isles of Shoals off the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire, combining historical narrative with descriptions of the islands' natural environment and cultural atmosphere. Thaxter draws from her experiences growing up on the remote island community to document both the region's past and its role as a gathering place for writers and artists in the 19th century.
