Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales From Birdland
Perched on the hillside are the scattered houses where the people live. In the midst Of these stand two or three stores and in front Of them the fishermen and lobstermen meet when they are not at work. They sit in the sunshine and smoke their pipes, and as they look out over the bay they tell many a tale Of the stormy seas. One Of the men who used to sit here was Mark Thaw. His hands were rough, and his boots Often went long without a shine; but his eyes were kind, and the stories he told were good to hear.
