My Own Gladys Taber
by Kim M. Baker
I am a friend of Gladys Taber.
No, Gladys and I have never exchanged birthday presents. Nor have we sat together over tea and hashed out a problem.
But I have been to her homes: a beach cottage called Still Cove in Orleans and a lovely, old farm called Stillmeadow in Southbury, Connecticut.
I travel to both of these magical places through the writing of Gladys Taber. They have been the settings for My Own Cape Cod and the Stillmeadow book series.
Recommended New Reads for April
by Caitlin Doggart, owner of Where the Sidewalk Ends Bookstore
Caitlyn recommended two books being released in April 2011 – one is a collection of short stories, and one is a much anticipated non-fiction adventure. Check out her reviews, and look for these books in a local store near you.
A Day in the Life of a Smiling Woman: Complete Short Stories
An introduction by Jose Francisco Fernandez explains the three groupings of short stories in depth, showing the influences portrayed in each decade of the British author's work.
The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie
While cleaning out boxes after her mother's death, Wendy McClure rediscovered her worn childhood books and immersed herself in the world of Little House on the Prairie. She embarked on the nebulous project of exploring the series from her adult perspective and following her childhood love of the semi-fictional world Laura Ingalls Wilder created as far as her interests carried her.
