It’s time for a giveaway!
Just last week I wrote about Pamela Dean’s Tam Lin, one of my favorite books. (I wrote about it here.) If you would like my extra copy, leave a comment.
If you are a fan of Dorothy Canfield Fisher, author of The Homemaker, a 1924 novel about a woman who works while her husband stays home with the kids, or The Bent Twig, her entertaining novel about a likeable Vermont housewife, you might appreciate her last novel, Seasoned Timber, published in 1939, the story of a headmaster at a boarding school in Vermont. This edition is A Hardscrabble Classic, published by University Press of New England. Leave a comment if you’d like it.
All in the U.S. and Canada are eligible, including those of you who have “won” books in the past. I wish I could send books outside of North America, but the postage defeats me.
And thank you for taking these books off my hands, if you will.

You’re giving away Tam Lin, how nice! I would be very interested in the Fisher but it would be my third book from you, so please, only use me as a last resort. I enjoyed the Mary Stewart, by the way — I”m planning to pass it along to another reader too.

Am so glad Mary Stewart is getting passed on. It’s such a lovely little book, but probably a once-read.

Don’t you love The Deepening Stream? That’s my favorite Dorothy Canfield Fisher novel, and I truly believe her best. It’s her most autobiographical, and I learned a great deal as a young woman from it, about World War I, France, and marriage. (I don’t need the books in the giveaway, but know two lucky people will love them!)

Oh, I haven’t read that one! I must read it. I have a couple of Viragos somewhere, but am not sure I have that one.

I haven’t read a Doroth Canfield Fisher book before so would love that one please. I love books about and between the two wars particularly female authors.

I have read Tam Lin but I am interested in the Dorothy Fisher. I haven’t read anything by her except some short stories, long ago. You are always generous with books.
