Yankee Coast; Written and Illus. by Robert P. Tristram Coffin, Abetted by Peggy Coffin by Robert P. Tristram Coffin
Vivid and enthuiastic account of the Maine coast with some historical background; maybe a bit overwritten at times but enjoyable if you love Maine as I do (though my family lived inland)
All you new Puritan book banners out there really should read Milton's Areopagitica, which is included here.
Originally published in The American Girl magazine, under the title Christmas on Paradise, this little memoir has been frequently anthologized. This edition is, I'm almost sure, a facsimile of a pamphlet edition published by F.W. Chandler in Brunswick, Maine, in 1948.
Poor condition. Many pages detached from binding.
