It Never Grows Old
I read Loretta Mason Potts over and over when I was in grade school and junior high, and so did my best friends. I found myself thinking about it again when I was in graduate school, and, terrified that it might be about to be discarded, I wrote to my small-town library and asked whether if they were going to get rid of it I might buy it instead. They very kindly sent it to me free of charge, ...

A strange white rabbit between us
Ok: I had already seen the film by Henry Koster, and then I have red the play of Mary Chase; but I was really determinate to read this book, I've tried it 15 years, and only by Amazon I've found it. It was a good idea: the film is very good and it respects surely the text, but here we have the original form of a wonderful idea: Elwood P. Dowd is a man, sure not stupid, which doesn't like the ...

The Psalms for the common reader2 reviews
Mary Ellen Chase

W. W. Norton, 1962

Psalms for everyone
From the DJ: "This book about the Psalms is precisely what its title says it is: a book for the common, or general reader. It is neither scholarly nor profound, in the sense of deep or extensive learning; in other words it is not intended for the specialist in Hebrew literary studies. I have tried in its pages to answer questions; to explain away confusion; to suggest ways and means for ...

Life on a farm on the Maine coast.
A wonderful book about life on a farm perched on the rocky edge of the Maine coast. The land is rough, sometimes bleak and gray, but it leaves you with a warm feeling. I first read it in 1965. If you can find a copy so I can give it to my children, please let me know.

The Lovely Ambition, a Novel1 review
Mary Ellen Chase

W. W. Norton & Company, 1960

A Book With A Different Pace
I own this book because it was a discard in my high school library. This is a book that has its own merits as a novel but can't compare to novels of this time. It's a book you can pick up to read a few pages or a chapter or two and then put down for a few months and read other material, then eventually pick it up again. It's not particularly gripping; its plot follows a family of five- father, ...

Zebra, 1996

Unique and charming.
I found "Fortune's Mistress" to be fresh and innovative, and the writing style literate and smooth. Ms. Comstock has created two memorable characters, and has taken a unique look at the consequences of behavior. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
