Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charity Kane lives in a blue and white cottage in Bar Harbor, Maine. On this special summer day, she and her dog Mariah will explore their island home-the shore, Main Street, the village green, the harbor-all by themselves, hoping for adventure. What they find is a huge, beautiful pink-granite bridge with three arches, sadly overgrown and hidden from view. Charity, her father and the townspeople discover the history of the bridge and clear away the brush to reveal, once again, the "Forgotten Bridge of Acadia." From author/illustrator Therese Klotz Marshall: When I was a child growing up on Eagle Lake Road in Bar Harbor, Maine, in the 1950s, my family would drive into Acadia National Park up to the top of Cadillac Mountain to look at the view of Frenchmans Bay and the Porcupine Islands. Driving on Route 3 into Bar Harbor, my parents would say, "Look to the right. It's coming up. Don't look away or you will miss it. There it is!" We would chime, "I saw it!" We were talking about "Dad's bridge," formally known as the Duck Brook Motor Bridge on Paradise Hill Road. My father designed and was construction supervisor for the real "Forgotten Bridge of Acadia," completed in 1952.

Thanks to a motheraEUR"daughter writing team, there is now on the bookshelves a truly sensible guide to the history, trivia, places, and things on Mount Desert Island . . . I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have to admit I learned a lot of things about Acadia and MDI that I never knew. -Hale G. Joy, The Ellsworth American A wonderful little volume . . . well done and much needed. -Duane Pierson, Friends of Acadia Catches, as well as a small, practical (but pleasing) booklet can, and better than any guide I've seen, the Island's story and character. -Patricia Ranzoni, Maine in Print As a fifthaEUR"generation summer person and a fullaEUR"time resident for 20aEUR"plus years of Mount Desert Island, I thought I was wellaEUR"versed on the history, lore, and contemporary features of the area. But I learned a number of interesting bits of information in Ivey and Lee's attractive little pocketbook, Facts and Fancy . . . This would be the perfect book to have on hand when visitors come for a weekend's stay, and you find yourself barraged with questions you really should know the answers to but don't . . .

Book excerpt: “A thorough and engaging history of Maine’s rocky coast and its tough-minded people.”—Boston Herald “[A] well-researched and well-written cultural and ecological history of stubborn perseverance.”—USA Today For more than four hundred years the people of coastal Maine have clung to their rocky, wind-swept lands, resisting outsiders’ attempts to control them while harvesting the astonishing bounty of the Gulf of Maine. Today’s independent, self-sufficient lobstermen belong to the communities imbued with a European sense of ties between land and people, but threatened by the forces of homogenization spreading up the eastern seaboard. In the tradition of William Warner’s Beautiful Swimmers, veteran journalist Colin Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) traces the history of the rugged fishing communities that dot the coast of Maine and the prized crustacean that has long provided their livelihood. Through forgotten wars and rebellions, and with a deep tradition of resistance to interference by people “from away,” Maine’s lobstermen have defended an earlier vision of America while defying the “tragedy of the commons”—the notion that people always overexploit their shared property. Instead, these icons of American individualism represent a rare example of true communal values and collaboration through grit, courage, and hard-won wisdom.

Erin French grew up in Freedom, Maine (population 719), helping her father at the griddle in his diner. An entirely self-taught cook who used cookbooks to form her culinary education, she now helms her restaurant, The Lost Kitchen, in a historic mill in the same town, creating meals that draw locals and visitors from around the world to a dining room that feels like an extension of her home kitchen. The food has been called “brilliant in its simplicity and honesty” by Food & Wine, and it is exactly this pure approach that makes Erin’s cooking so appealing—and so easy to embrace at home. This stunning giftable package features a vellum jacket over a printed cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carrina and Flame were arguing in the library. Flame wanted to set up the portal near the fireplace so it would appear as though the visitors had just stepped out of the flame. He thought it would make for great humour since his name was Flame. Carrina, however, was trying to be more practical. “Darling, what would happen if they travelled here and accidentally stepped right into the fireplace? Do we really want the inaugural visit of the King and Queen of Acadia to end with them going up into flames?” The prince knew she was right. “But think of the excitement!” Unfortunately, that was the only thing he could think of as a response. Carrina stared at him a moment then moved the tall wooden pedestal away from the fireplace and into a safer corner of the room. There was nothing on the pedestal yet, but in a matter of hours a worn leather diary with a bronzed star would be laying open on top of it. Of course, no one would actually be reading the book; they would be paying attention to the travellers who would be stepping out from it. Carrina was about to create a permanent magical portal to the Kingdom of Acadia. She knew it was only a matter of time before she learned how to return and visit their dear friends Venus and Grimelda. That time had come two months ago when the princess remembered the connection between The Venus Diary and Underbrook. It was one of two physical items that had existed in both kingdoms, the other being a large boat docked in a marina on the source lake. Carrina thought it would probably be more convenient to use the diary instead of the boat if they needed to travel quickly. After their first visit back to Acadia, Carrina and Grimelda agreed to establish a permanent portal between the kingdoms. That way they could visit each other any time they wanted and it would allow Carrina’s parents, the King and Queen of Underbrook, to establish a new royal relationship. Flame sat down on a comfortable sofa near the fireplace as Carrina pushed the podium around the room. She spent nearly ten minutes shifting the wooden stand back and forth until finally Flame grew impatient. “Carrina! The podium is fine. They will be here soon and we still have more preparation to do. Just put it in the corner and be done with it!” Carrina sighed in frustration then stopped moving the podium and left the library. She needed to get dressed in her royal gown and get back to the throne room before Venus and Grimelda arrived. It was the first time her parents were going to meet the new King and Queen of Acadia. They had been eager to meet them after Carrina and Flame told of their great adventure all because of a child’s diary. An alliance with another kingdom could be of great value to Underbrook, so King Reginald was eager to meet King Venus. Carrina and Flame rushed down from their room, both of them wrapped in fine royal gowns made from heavy cotton and gold threading. They joined the king and queen in the throne room and then the four of them walked silently into the royal library. The room was a fitting place for the portal since they would be using a book to make the magic happen. Carrina stepped forward to the podium and placed her hand on the smooth wood surface. She spoke softly, not in an actual language, but more in a thought and a hum. She was calling on her power to create a connection to the diary. A vibration formed in the air around the podium as the portal linked with the diary. In the centre of the vibration a tiny light formed, bright and white, slowly expanding into the room. The princess stepped back and joined her family as they watched the light expand into the vibration. Almost like a doorway the light opened up and King Venus and Queen Grimelda of Acadia stepped through. *** The Dragons of Tarnack, is included in the Special Edition Collection of all three stories in: The Magical Adventures of Princess Carrina.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
