About This Item
Vermont.: Self-published, Deane C Davis., 1951. Published posthumously.. Trade paperback. Very good. Clean interior. Minor edge wear to covers. Paper clip attaching front card has medium rust. Binding staples clean.. 1 44 p. Pattern-decorated light blue-gray surrounding unframed title box. Stapled binding. 22 cm. Small "Deane Chandler Davis" calling card attached, front. Covers overlap text pages slightly. Poet and prose writer and writing mentor Corinne Eastman Davis (d.1951) of Barre, Vermont, was an early supporter of writing as a member of the Literature Committee of the Vermont Federation of Women's Clubs, strongly backing the founding of the Poetry Society of Vermont. Her published poems had earlier been scattered: student works at Mt. Holyoke College, contest prizes, anthology inclusion in "Green Mountain Verse". This collection comes directly from her notebook, published by her husband Deane C Davis, an attorney, judge, and later 4-yr Governor of Vermont. Her prose writing supported community histories and ongoing organizations (Santa Claus Club, Girl Scout publicity), the Hedding Methodist Church history, "One Hundred Years of Methodism in Barre, Vermont". Her own works in progress had often been put aside for these other projects, and to advise fellow writers.

About Hedgehog's Whimsey Books
Hedgehog's Whimsey Books was born in a random moment when I decided to become a used books seller. Beginning in 2001, I apprenticed myself with a longtime pro in the next town, hoping to learn her secrets. She encouraged my free help but was wary of sharing all those secrets. Nonetheless, she turned me loose when she felt I would not embarrass her; she was impressed, finding I actually knew something about books and authors and styles. I am still learning, and I am having a good time with the random avalanches of books to be recycled into good homes, one by one. Inventory has mounted: my mother downsized her 7,000-plus library, and we (my Geezer and I) went to library book sales, yard emporiums on weekends, estate dispersals, and added the books my kids left behind, wanting to stock their own shelves anew. Some folks simply tooled down our dirt road and left boxes on our porch. Myself? Well, I am also a photographer, journalist, curious stuff collector, avid reader, writer, editor, small-time publisher, and online pontificator. At Hedgehog Enterprises, I do "Words & Pictures by & for Folks with Prickly Backs, Soft Bellies, & Small Brains", established in 1991. Since I have the smallest brain (by unpopular vote), I am the Head Hedgehog. Do I specialize in particular genres? I thought I did, but my barn has lots of Geezer-built shelves, and we have many interests, so topics vary, as do book conditions and editions. I try to describe such, and sometimes have too much fun as I poke along. There is no charge for the therapy of browsing, folks, so find my sites and stay awhile. If a purchase results, know that the tax collector in Newport, New Hampshire, may get a pleasant surprise. Or, I may buy a few more apple cider donuts or sweet potatoes. No pressure. Hedgehogs do have yearnings. If you should visit by chance or by appointment, enjoy our old New Hampshire farmhouse location alongside the Sugar River and its companion recreation Rail Trail, nearby two historic railroad covered bridges just off Chandlers Mill Road. Feel welcome. -- Lucy G Wells, proprietor.
