| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Among the Isles of Shoals" by Celia Thaxter is a collection of descriptive sketches and local history written in the late 19th century. It portrays the stark yet beguiling beauty of the small granite islands off New Hampshire and Maine, blending nature writing with folklore, maritime history, and portraits of a hardy fishing community. The focus ranges from geology, flora, and sea-sound to shipwrecks, ministers, and village life. The result is an evocative portrait of place that mixes close observation with memory and regional lore.<br/><br/>The opening of the book sets the mood by contrasting the Shoals’ bleak first impression with their “enchanted” atmosphere, then orients the reader with a clear tour of the islands, reefs, tides, and trap dikes, along with the sounds, coves, shells, and surprisingly vivid wildflowers and gardens. It moves from sensuous description to human traces: old cellars, a traditional cairn, and the dramatic tale of the ship Sagunto’s wreck and the graves Mr. Haley cut for its crew. A concise historical arc follows—early settlement and prosperous fisheries, pastors like John Brock and Joseph Tucke, wartime evacuation, subsequent moral and economic decline, and later reformers who reestablished schooling and order—while the village modernizes. Interwoven are lively glimpses of daily life: hard winter trawling, storms that hold schooners on perilous anchors, women’s anxieties, and the sea’s free driftwood. The narrative also delights in the islanders’ dialect, nicknames, and comic mishaps with law and politics, and offers vivid character sketches—from worn old women and centenarian Peter to a boastful ballad-singer—capturing both the community’s rough edges and its enduring charm.
