DANVIS TALES: SELECTED STORIES brings together the finest of Robinson's late-nineteenth-century fiction set in the fictional Vermont town of Danvis, a thinly veiled version of Ferrisburgh. His stories capture the humor, dialect, customs, and hardships of rural Yankee life with remarkable authenticity. Rowland E. Robinson (18331900) was a Vermont farmer, illustrator, and regionalist writer whose depictions of rural New England have been compared to those of Sarah Orne Jewett and Mary Wilkins Freeman. This modern edition, edited and introduced by Vermont poet and essayist David Budbill (19402016), restores Robinson's work to its rightful place in American literary history. Signed by Author(s).
