In this post weโll read a wonderful autumn-themed poem by one of my favourite authors, Sarah Orne Jewett. Describing the scenery surrounding her hometown of South Berwick, Maine, the poet paints the picture of beauty and richness of a sunny November day.
Trick or treat! As another Halloween approaches, in this post Iโll give you a quick recap of the earlier articles and reviews related to this holiday, or somehow appropriate to it.

Iโm happy to announce the release of the seventh title in my Grammaticus Free Library series: โThe Mesmeric Mountainโ is a curious tale of a man convinced heโs being followed by a mountain. It was written by Stephen Crane (1871-1900), a prolific American writer whose innovative style influenced generations of authors.
