Rubbing and light browning to dustjacket edges, with small chips to top/bottom of spine and corners. Light sunning to spine. Protected in mylar. "The setting is the Isles of Shoals, off the New Hampshire- Maine coast. The story starts when Celia is only five, and her father, somewhat crippled both in body and spirit, determines to put the "continent" behind him, and live forever on the island, as keeper of the light. The time is 1840- and continues through Celia's growing up, to her marriage to an older man, Levi Thaxter, and her early attempts to write the verse which has made her name a familiar one to school children. But viewed as fiction, the story creates an impression of an ingrown life, of a father-daughter attachment that is unreal, of content with being out off from the world on a storm swept, rocky island. There is little of actual adventure. The most interesting section- in view of Celia Thaxter's later use of the material, deals with the island garden." (from Kirkus Review, 1949).

Booksellers sticker to front free endpaper of Volume II. Front hinge tender and tissue-guard spotted on Volume II. Edward Sylvester Morse was born in Portland, Maine, U.S.A. in 1838. Although he worked mainly as a draftsman and did not go to university, Morse's research. caught the attention of Louis Agassiz, a renowned naturalist, thus launching his career as a zoologist. A singularly gifted lecturer on popular science, Morse used the money from his winter lectures to pursue vigorous research at his own expense. Three visits to Japan between 1877 and 1883 marked a turning point in Morse's life. The discovery of the mori shell mound and a deep interest in Japanese ceramics and Japanese culture that was aroused during his visit to Japan led Morse to become a Japanologist rather than a zoologist. Morse wrote several excellent books on Japan, including Japanese Homes and Their Surroundings (1886) and Japan Day by Day (1917), and also gave numerous lectures on Japan, promoting understanding of Japan from a pro-Japanese standpoint. "One of the charms of Japan Day by Day is that readers can feel the delight of Morse's "discovery" in what he sees and hears. When he landed in Yokohama late at night and looked around from his hotel window in the morning, 'What a world of delight burst upon me as I looked out the hotel window this morning on the frigates of the various nations in the harbor and the curious native boats and junks, with everything novel but the ships and the sea,' Morse's collection of Japanese ceramics (in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston) and Japanese folklore (in the Peabody Museum, Salem) are both world-renowned. He died in 1925." (from Springer).
