Born in rural Vermont in 1833, and nearly unknown to today’s readers, Rowland Evans Robinson was once one of Vermont’s best-known writers. A talented artist, he drew cartoons in New York City for the “funny papers” before returning to Vermont, where he authored nearly a dozen widely-read books on nature and rural farm life. Poor vision progressed to blindness between the ages of 44 and 60, yet he continued to write with the aid of his wife, Anna. This collection of short essays follows New England’s changing seasons and moods in all its natural beauty. – Summary by Nemo
