Rowland E. Robinson Libri
Rowland Evans Robinson, un tempo uno degli autori più noti del Vermont, è oggi in gran parte sconosciuto ai lettori contemporanei. Inizialmente un artista che disegnava vignette per i giornali di New York City, tornò alla vita rurale e scrisse libri molto letti. I suoi scritti catturano spesso l'essenza della natura e della vita contadina e, nonostante una progressiva perdita della vista fino alla cecità, continuò a scrivere con l'aiuto della moglie, creando un corpus di opere che parlano del fascino duraturo della campagna.
