"In the winter of 1923, Grey wrote a novel entitled The Fisherman, the story of a boy's love of angling and how it helped to shape his character and destiny. This stirring work was serialized in Outdoor America, the magazine of a fledgling conservation group that was to become a major environmental force - the Izaak Walton League of America. The story remained in the archives of the League and has never been published elsewhere. During the 1920's Grey wrote numerous columns, articles, and short stories for the League's magazine. Seven of these have been selected for inclusion in this volume. In addition, there are two bonus features that are not about the sea or fishing but are vintage Grey.". Hard Cover.

"Woodard's startling portrait of the Maine coast and it's forgotten history is a fascinating tale of intrigue, conflict, and stubborn perseverance. Born and raised in Maine, Woodard is able to reveal a people with an Old World sense of ties that exist between blood and soil: many of the tiny fishing and farming hamlets that dot the coast are still occupied by the families that settled them three or four centuries ago. These communities and their unique way of life are now threatened by the forces of suburbanization spreading north from the cities.". First Edition. Hard Cover.
