Review
String Too Short to be Saved memorializes a time that is no more, but can live on forever in the warmth of the heart. --Joyce Bupp, Advisor
The best essays, for my money, to have been written about New England. --The New York Times
This collection of personal reminiscences glows with the affection he has for the land, the people, and the customs of rural New England...Each vignette in this poignant collection contains the telltale signs of an era's end, of a proud culture in transition, and of a land in jeopardy. Not only beautiful writing, it is also a gentle paean to a disappearing landscape and way of life. Extraordinarily well-written and a pleasure to read from beginning to end...very highly recommended. --James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review
