Mount Desert was too crowded, and Montclair too lone ly. They went to the Adirondacks last year, and were going to the Great Lakes next year. They know all about New port and Nonquitt, and not enough about Tadousac. Where were they to go? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
