Macmillan, New York, 1934. 1934. Decorative Blue Cloth. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. pp, 284. Front board with gilt title and author has monor scuff; minor wear shows at corners, spine (black title) sunned. Binding is square and tight, text block clean. Paste-downs illustrated with representative map of the region showing the Gurnet bridge in foreground; illustrated by Peter. Bears the signature Peter Pinxit, pinxit meaning painted by or drawn by Peter. Peter is the protagonist of this semi-autobiographical story, so it may be assumed to be Coffin.
Robert Peter Tristram Coffin (March 18, 1892 January 20, 1955) was an American poet, educator, writer, editor and literary critic. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1936, for Strange Holiness (1935). His poem Crystal Moment is still well regarded; it features eye-to-eye contact with a buck as it is pursued by a hunting pack. Generally Coffin was a regional writer whose works appeared Yankee, Ladies Home Journal, Amercan Cookery, Good Housekeeping, and their ilk. He was a Rhodes Scholar and on the faculty of Bowdoin College.
