Literary Nonfiction. These vivid sketches of small-town America in another era and of Mr. Hall's eccentric and marvelous family have been collected from his popular newspaper column, A Brookline Boyhood. They are so rooted in place and time that they uncannily evoke the reader's own past. Award-winning southern novelist and poet Fred Chappell calls this a "wonderfully enjoyable book of reminiscences and speculations. SMALL TOWN TALES preserves memories the way happy farmwives preserve peaches and strawberries. The results are equally wholesome and delicious. Sidney Hall's work is a rare treat!"

Light Filling My Bones

By the age of 19, Solon Hanson of Castine, Maine, had worked as a cook, crew, and mate on sailing ships, had become a cod fisherman, survived one of New Orleans  worst hurricanes, been called as witness to a murder trial, and was close to his goal of becoming a sea captain.    Unlike most sailors of the time, he diligently wrote home about his adventures.  His letters were rediscovered over a century later, and provide a rare glimpse into the daily life of 1850s Maine cod fishermen. These letters offer a brilliant firsthand account of life and death at sea.
