Tales of North Berwick: or You Can't Get There from Here Betty Tufts

Did you ever catch polliwogs in the swamp beside your school? Have you had a chance to ride in the locomotive of a train? Did you ever scare pigeons in the church belfry? These are mostly funny stories of a small town in Maine in the 20's and 30's told by a State -of-Mainer herself, who remembers with sharp humor and great human interest. You will laugh when you read about the corset lady who pulled in all the fat women in town and when you hear about the barber shop where she found out what a cuspidor was for. And it will delight you to find fifty recipes, favorites of this small town.
