Nan Rossiter will be signing her new children's book, The Fo'c'sle. The Outermost House is Henry Beston's beloved account of the year he spent in a shack high on a dune overlooking the thundering surf of the Atlantic. The house was known as "The Fo'c'sle" and now we have a record of that year for younger readers, brilliantly retold and illustrated by Nan Parson Rossiter. Her artwork glows with the same inner light and simplicity that animated Beston's prose and amplified the natural world. And although his memorable prose is incorporated throughout the book, it is Rossiter's skill, as both an artist and an interpreter, that makes him, his year, and the little shack he so loved come convincingly, and poignantly, to life.
