About This Item
Norton, 1966. 1st Edition. . Hardcover. As New/Fine. Stefan Martin. As new copy in fine dustwrapper. First printing indicated by number line. Pages, covers and jacket are crisp intact and unmarked. Wood engraving; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 219 pages; Summary: When Lorna Beers and her husband came to Vermont to stay, snow lay among the hills, and the wild apples clung to the branches like forgotten holiday ornaments. It was the first of May. They felt a slight sinking of the heart, for they were no longer summer residents but what Vermonters warily referred to as 'permanent summer folk.' Their house, built in 1820, offered the first challenge. It boasted the architectural oddity of the hung chimney, which, like the Indian fakir's rope, begins in midair. The author and her husband soon discovered the law pertaining to old buildings; any repair you make leads immediately to other repairs. 1st Printing 1st Printing 1st Printing
