A MAINE HAMLET By Laura Beam

“Nothing I’ve read matches in imagination and richness the overall community portrait presented in A Maine Hamlet. Many readers from similar rural New England Backgrounds…have said ‘it rings true,’ or ‘she’s got it right.’ That’s high praise,” writes Jere Daniell in his new introduction to this quiet Maine classic, finally back in print again.

“The very best book about old-time Maine.” –John Cole
