A propos de cet article

With the price of $1.75 at the bottom of the inside front flap. A charming letter thanking a Mrs. Cochran for her interest in Dawn in Lyonesse and giving her "this letter in payment." The Maine author's most famous novel, a story of two servant women and a modern retelling of the story of Tristan and Isolde, set in Cornwall. Mary Ellen Chase was an American educator, teacher, scholar, and author. She is regarded as one of the most important regional New England literary figures of the early twentieth century. Chase wrote more than 30 books, many using her cherished Maine heritage as the setting. "Windswept" is a novel set on the coast of Maine, which Miss Chase knows so well and which is the background for her earlier novels, "Mary Peters" and "Silas Crockett." But the scene of her new story is eastern Maine, that less known region of open, trackless, often barren land facing the open sea. Her most famous of these works include Mary Peters, Silas Crockett, Windswept, and Edge of Darkness. The summer home she lived in from 1941 to 1955, Windswept in Steuben, Maine, was the inspiration for her bestselling book Windswept. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
