''Authors and Friends'' by Annie Fields is a collection of essays and personal anecdotes about the author’s relationships with various well-known writers of her time. Fields was a prominent literary figure in the late 19th century and was married to the publisher James T. Fields. In this book, she shares her experiences and interactions with writers such as Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Fields provides insight into the personalities and quirks of these authors, as well as their writing processes and inspirations. She also shares her own thoughts on literature and the importance of fostering relationships between writers. The book is written in a conversational style and offers a unique perspective on the literary world of the late 1800s. ''Authors and Friends'' is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of literature and the lives of famous writers.The solitude of Celia Thaxter’s childhood, which was not solitude, surrounded as she was with the love of a father and a mother, all tenderness, and brothers dear to her as her own life, developed in the child strange faculties. She was five years old when the family left Portsmouth,--old enough, given her inborn power of enjoyment of nature, to delight in the free air and the wonderful sights around her. She gives in her book a pretty picture of the child watching the birds that flew against the lighthouse lantern, when they lived at White Island. The birds would strike it with such force as to kill themselves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
