Arundel
Kenneth Roberts
Down East Books, 1995
Roberts at his Best
Wow! This book was absolutely amazing! It was so good, that I had to put it down for a while, go and do something else while I let it digest. Wonderful stuff. After a bumpy start -with a rather mushy love scene between the 10 year old Mary Mallinson and Steven ...

Life in the Maine woods - a classic
This book is a great read for anyone who's ever had the desire to just chuck it all and head for the woods (a desire that seems to wax and wane like the tides, popular one decade [1970s, for example], totally passe the next). Today taking to the woods for many means ...
Rabble in Arms
Kenneth Roberts
Down East Books, 1996
Great read, but there is a "However"
