Considered Sarah Orne Jewett's best work, The Country of the Pointed Firs tells the story of a Boston writer who comes to the Maine seacoast town of Dunnett Landing to finish her book. Instead of finding peace to write, however, she is drawn into a community shaped by long Maine winters, rock, and cold saltwater. This quiet tale of small-town American life captures the inspiration of honest friendships, family, and community. This Maine Standard edition includes four short stories that Jewett wrote as sequels to Country of the Pointed Firs.

Autorenporträt
Sarah Orne Jewett was born on September 3, 1849, in South Berwick, Maine, into a family with deep New England roots. Her father, Theodore Herman Jewett, was a respected physician, and she often accompanied him on his rounds, fostering her familiarity with the local community and landscape. These experiences deeply influenced her literary work, grounding her stories in the authentic life of Maine's coastal villages.¿Jewett's literary career began early, with her first significant story published at the age of 19. She gained acclaim for her regional fiction, particularly her novel The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), which is considered a classic of American literature. Her writing is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of New England life and its contribution to American literary regionalism.¿Throughout her life, Jewett maintained close relationships with prominent literary figures, including a deep friendship with writer Annie Adams Fields. After a carriage accident in 1902, Jewett's writing career slowed, and she passed away on June 24, 1909, in her hometown of South Berwick. Her legacy endures through her influential works that continue to offer rich insights into the culture and people of 19th-century New England.¿
