A lovely look at the towns of Camden and Rockport, Maine by Lew Dietz (1906-1997), a writer and journalist based in Maine. Dietz's most notable book, A Seal Called Andre, recalls the true-life story of an orphaned seal who became a popular attraction in the Rockport harbor. The reproduced wood-engraved illustrations by Carroll Thayer Berry (1886-1978) add to the charm of the narrative.
