deMeyer, John Village Tale
Philadelphia/New York J. B. Lippincott Company (c.1938) NO Unstated ed Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dj
(price-clipped) [good solid copy, moderate shelfwear; jacket edgeworn, a bit soiled, mild chipping along top edge, minor paper loss at top of spine, one small closed tear at top of front panel]. "The scene is an isolated village on the coast of Maine. The life of the villagers is narrow; seldom do they leave the community, and they have little interest in what takes place elsewhere. Sis Forrest, the minister's son, is cast in a different mold. Sensitive, and better educated than his neighbors, he is filled with a desire to see the world, to get away from petty bickerings, gossip and jealousy. A young New Yorker, who comes to the village to write a novel based on Maine life, meets Sis and, sensing that the young man himself has a story to tell, persuades him to write a book."
