Sara Ware Bassett (1872 – 1968) was a prolific American author of fiction and nonfiction. Her novels primarily deal with New England characters, and most of them are set in two fictional Cape Cod villages she created, Belleport and Wilton. (Source: en.wikipedia.org)
The story-line of this novel is not as well constructed and interesting as others in the series. Having said that the narrator provided by Librivox (Brian Keenan) is excellent.
