Originally published in 1960, this beautiful novel, by one of America’s best loved writers, is an absorbing family chronicle of the early twentieth century. Set half in England and half in her native state of Maine, the narrative allows the author to make splendid use of this dual setting to depict with affection the two areas she loved best in the world. John Tillyard, a Wesleyan parson, brings his wife and three children from England when he takes over a Methodist parish in downeast Maine. The descriptions of farming in Suffolk, of the lambing meadows, and of the weekly market are delightful, as are the experiences of the Tillyard family both in Old England and New. This evocative and engaging story is sure to delight and enchant readers.

"Silas Crockett" traces life on the Maine coast through four generations of a seafaring family. This is a one-hundred-year epic filled with vibrant descriptions of the sweeping cultural, economic, and philosophical changes that washed over Maine. Mary Ellen Chase weaves wonderful historical detail with engaging characters so readers understand what it was like for a young wife to join her husband on a months-long trade voyage in 1830, and for a man raised in the tradition of seafaring forced to choose between leaving home for a long voyage or undertaking a risky, but shorter and more lucrative one. Chase draws her characters sharply and provides a voice to the everyday concerns and cares of people who lived and died by the sea. Written in 1935, "Silas Crockett" remains an important piece of literature for anyone who wishes to understand the rich maritime history of Maine.
