"The Best Stories of Sarah Orne Jewett, Volume 1" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work highlights the rich culture and characters of New England, particularly focusing on the coastal town of Dunnet and its inhabitants. Through her writing, Jewett unveils the beauty and simplicity of rural life, capturing the essence of the land and its people. At the start of this volume, the narrative introduces the town of Dunnet through the eyes of a returning visitor who finds comfort and familiarity in its landscape. The focus shifts to Mrs. Almira Todd, a local herbalist, who is portrayed as both lively and nurturing. Her garden is filled with herbs, from which she concocts remedies for the townspeople. Through her interactions with a guest, the themes of friendship, simplicity, and the connection between people and their environment are explored. The opening sets a tone of affectionate observation, hinting at deeper stories and relationships that evolve within the quaint coastal community.
