Description: "Do you people get that way from living here, or were you all peculiar to start with?" a visitor once asked Louise Dickinson Rich. Even after 15 years in the forests of western Maine, the talented author could not give a simple answer. There was a "fundamental common denominator" among her neighbors, Rich agreed, but she found it hard to say just what it was. "(Whether) it takes an eccentric to understand an eccentric, I'm neither prepared nor willing to state. All I'm going to do is just for once forget about the scenery and the weather and tell about the people." That resolution led to this book, the last of Rich's captivating series about her life in remote Middle Dam, Maine.
