Full Description
Coast Calendar, says its Pulitzer Prizewinning author, is the story of the work and play, the human nature and the weather, the fauna and flora, the ups and downs in a simple, all-around Maine family that mixes farming of the sea with farming of the land. This is Robert P. Tristram Coffin's delightful chronicle of a year on the Maine coast. With a chapter for each month, beautifully handled text, and engaging drawings, the book follows the revolving seasons, each with its strong Maine weather and accompanying activities on the saltwater farm, in the surrounding woods, and on the bordering sea.This is the world of coastal Maine, but it is a wider world, too. Perhaps the deep frost and the special swing of the stars and sweep of the sea belong to Maine, but the fine day-to-day detail of living in tune with the seasons and nature will stir memories for many of a way of life that is rapidly passing.
