<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Devoted fans of the enduring characters of Van Reid's nineteenth-century Maine are in for a fabulous treat with Fiddler's Green--an old-fashioned mulligatawny of high and low comedy, unabashed romance, adventure, and eerie mystery. Escape to a seemingly simpler world and visit...<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Opening with the long-awaited wedding of Mister Walton, Fiddler's Green follows Mister Walton's aide-de-camp, Sundry Moss, as he embarks on a Good Samaritan mission. What seems like a harmless journey soon turns into a nearly fatal scrape as he finds himself in a strange rustic netherworld, caught between two feuding--and fantastical--families who are determined to cover up a dark secret no matter what the cost. Full of romantic yearning, knockabout comedy, and touching drama, fans and newcomers alike will be pleased to keep company with the honorable Gentlemen of the Club. This is a worthy successor to its wonderfully reviewed predecessor, Mrs. Roberto.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If Garrison Keillor were crossed with P.G. Wodehouse, the result might be something like Van Reid. His solid readership should grow with this sterling effort." --Publisher's Weekly--Publishers Weekly<br><br>Reid's one-man campaign to resurrect the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novel is a campaign well worth enlisting in. [starred review]--Kirkus<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Van Reid's family has lived in Edgecomb, Maine, since the 1800s. Reid was a long-time bookseller and lives with his wife and children in a house Reid and his brother built on their family's land.
