Excerpt from Maine, in Verse and Story It freights the surf that laves the sweeping sands, Of York, of Wells, and famed Old Orchard's strands, Who roams these midways, fraught of Ocean's sooth, Reads of its grains, God's vast, infinite truth. The mystic spell of Casco's year of 13163, Comes of the Spirits of its legend wiles, That hover yet, o'er rites of bygone days, When they as mortals roamed these Island ways.

Excerpt from Up in Maine: Stories of Yankee Life Told in Verse I don't know how to weave a roundelay, I couldn't voice a sighing song of love; No mellow lyre that on which I play; I plunk a strident lute Without a glove. The rhythm that is running through my stuff Is not the whisp of maiden's trailing gown; The metre, maybe, gallops rather rough, Like river-drivers storming down to town.

Excerpt from The Story of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The largest city in the state of Maine is Portland. It is a beautiful town, for it lies on a little peninsula which extends into Casco Bay. In addition to salt water privileges, it has a river, and it is built on high hills, from which, on clear days, one can see the distant mountains. The city contains many fine trees, stately old houses, and beautiful gar dens. On its outskirts are woods, fields and pastures.

Excerpt from A Little Daughter of Liberty Three rides are memorable in the early his tory of the Revolution. One is the well-known ride of Paul Revere, who, on.the night of April 18, 177 5, warned the country about Boston of the intended British raid on the morrow. Less Celebrated in verse and story, but equally worthy of commemoration, was the ride of Caesar Rodney, who, on July second of the same year, rode from Dover, Delaware, to Philadelphia to carry Delaware's vote in favour of the Declaration of Independence, covering the distance of eighty miles in thirty hours. Early in November, I 775, a young English serving boy rode from the headquarters of the provincial army at Cambridge to Kennebunk, Maine, in less than thirty-six hours. Untold in verse or story, its record preserved only in family papers, or as a dim tradition of the Maine coast, the ride of Anthony Severn was no less heroic in its action and memorable in its consequences.

Excerpt from By Trench and Trail in Song and Story A number of the songs in this collection have been heard by campfire and trail from the camps of British Columbia to the lumber camps of Maine. Several of the songs have been fired at the Huns somewhere in France, no doubt with deadly effect. And also at the Turks on the long long hike to Bagdad and beyond. And it is not impossible that some of my country men are now warbling snatches of my humble verse to the accompaniment of bagpipes on the streets of the New Jerusalem! Many of the verses have appeared from time to time in leading publications from Vancouver, B. C., to the New England States and Eastern Canada; while others appear in print here for the first time. From all parts of the land I have received letters at various times asking for extra copies of some particular song in my humble collection, which I was not in a position to supply at the time.

From Newbery Medal winner Patricia MacLachlan comes a poignant story about two children, a poet, and a dog and how they help one another survive loss and recapture love. 3 starred reviews. "Just what I needed," raves Brightly. "It's a heart-warming story of loss and love that filled me with hope for a better future and renewed my belief in good." Teddy is a gifted dog. Raised in a cabin by a poet named Sylvan, he grew up listening to sonnets read aloud and the comforting clicking of a keyboard. Although Teddy understands words, Sylvan always told him there are only two kinds of people in the world who can hear Teddy speak: poets and children. Then one day Teddy learns that Sylvan was right. When Teddy finds Nickel and Flora trapped in a snowstorm, he tells them that he will bring them home—and they understand him. The children are afraid of the howling wind, but not of Teddy’s words. They follow him to a cabin in the woods, where the dog used to live with Sylvan . . . only now his owner is gone. As they hole up in the cabin for shelter, Teddy is flooded with memories of Sylvan. What will Teddy do when his new friends go home? Can they help one another find what they have lost?
