Winter Harbor
WINTER HARBOR $2.50 By HOLT
THE author of this easygoing chronicle had always wanted to own a lighthouse on the coast of Maine. When her husband came by an unexpected $1500, he bought Winter Harbor Light, and the couple’s adventures with their light and its island are told by Bernice Richmond with quiet enjoyment. Since the light was in good condition, its new owners reasonably seaworthy, and the natives ashore charmingly cooperative, the book contains none of those misadventures which supposedly dog the purchasers of summer places. It does contain some mouth-watering recipes for Maine chowders and pies, clambakes and lobster picnics. The people who wander in and out of these pages are dim, but the Maine coast, rocky and beautiful, and the constant comings and goings of boats and gulls more than make up for this dimness. II inter Ilarbor is a pleasant book, unpretentious, and comfortingly sincere.
