This special era in Maine history spawned a new genre of fiction that was known as the Bar Harbor Novel-romance stories about the rich falling in and out of love during their summer sojourns. Dramatic and romantic, these short novels helped intensify the area's popularity. The eleven pieces in this collection include those by the great Constance Harrison, Marion Crawford, Edward Church, and Ervin Wardman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn and Kathryn Muether's fondness for the literature of Mount Desert developed from their frequent visits to Bar Harbor. When they are not vacationing in coastal Maine, they live in central Florida. John serves as library director and professor of church history at Reformed Theological Seminary in Oviedo, and Kathryn is the librarian of the Geneva School in Winter Park.
