Books: ‘Friends Bearing Gifts’
By
Leon Graham

When Commander Robert Peary, newly returned from a dash toward the North Pole, lectured at the Village Hall in Norfolk, Conn., in February 1907, a crowd of 600 filled the building to overflowing. 
“A tall man, with a large frame and a pleasing manner of address,” according to the town paper, he had turned back within 3 degrees of his goal: “’I looked around at the drawn faces of my companions and at the skeleton dogs, and feeling that the limit of human and canine endurance had been reached, started back for the ship.’”

Local Author Pens Children’s Novel

Thu, 03/08/2018 - 12:46pm
Books: ‘The Heart and Mind of Frances Pauley’
By
Anne Day

Writing for children can mean writing about a child, writing for a child, or, sometimes, writing like a chid.  April Stevens has written an engaging novel about a singularly charming offbeat character by  thinking like this particular child. Without condescending or resorting to child-speak, she writes about being an 11-year-old girl.  Simple, everyday things happen in this quiet significant middle-grade book. But, for this child and the reader, they are monumental.

By
Anne Day

Allen Blagden, a lover of all animals and  prolific painter of the natural world,  says he might have been a feral child. Growing up in Lake­ville he was always happiest out of doors. Blagden’s father, Tom Blagden, was the legendary Hotchkiss art teacher and Blagden says he remembers beginning to draw at about the same time that he learned to walk.
