Cricket at the Seashore [EPUB ebook] 

Elizabeth Weston Timlow (1861-1930) was the principal of a private girls school in Washington, D.C. and the author of seven children’s books. She was also a lecturer onpyschology and metaphysics who took young women on the "grand tour"of Europe to enrich their cultural perspectives. But in 1914 in the middle ofone of these tours she and her charges were stuck in England at the outbreakof World War I. Deeply depressed as her proper Victorian world crumbed aroundher, she regained her sense of peace by writing this book. She visited Monadnock every year from 1900 to her death in 1930. During her last yearsshe lived in Fitzwilliam, N.H. within sight of Mount Monadnock.
