Learn about VHC’s first book, A Guide to Fiction Set in Vermont
Meet the author: book signings with Ann McKinstry Micou
“From the author’s insightful ‘Introduction’ to the succinct and engaging thumbnail descriptions of the books themselves, this volume is not only a valuable resource, it’s a fascination all by itself.” — David Budbill, author of While We’ve Still Got Feet and Judevine
“I thought I had read a lot of books, but Ann McKinstry Micou has me beat! I also thought I knew most of the books about Vermont, but I was wrong. Reading Ann’s book has got me tracking down some wonderful reads that I didn’t know even existed. I think it will do the same for you.” — Natalie Kinsey-Warnock, author of As Long As There are Mountains, The Canada Geese Quilt, and From Dawn till Dusk
“More than just a bibliography or an overview, this valuable resource is an in-depth look at the entire range and history of children’s fiction set in Vermont – its subjects, its themes, its honest (and usually positive) picture of our state. And those wonderful appendixes! They’re worth the price of the book.” — Joanna Rudge Long, reviewer for The Horn Book Magazine; former young people’s book review editor for Kirkus Reviews
“This comprehensive guide offers an invaluable resource for teachers, librarians, parents and general readers; curriculum ideas emerge as one reads. All readers will want to make their own list of books for themselves and their favorite children to enjoy.” — Sally Sugarman, Professor Emerita of Childhood Studies at Bennington College and author of If Kids Could Vote: Children, Democracy, and the Media
