About This Item
Unity: North Country Press, 2018. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. Signed by the author at the top of the title page, "With best wishes / Robert R. Charles". The author grew up in rural Maine. Over four seasons, he describes Maine half a century ago, smelting and rescuing ice houses, moose encounters and indoor ermine, raising mischievous rabbits and conversing with pigs, hunting a legendary "football-sized emerald" and learning from legendary World War II vets. He takes readers down through thin ice, and up spires of one-match fires, Dead River to hair-raising disorientation on the open sea, witih a fluid pen. Illustrated from photographs. 291 pages. "Best Book Awards FINALIST" sticker to front cover. Cover art by Rick Kelley.
