True or not, the story sets the stage for a believable and thought-provoking book. The story begins and ends in Granville a sleepy mountain community nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont seemingly lost in time. It is undoubtable a secret, magical and mystical place." -Benn Bullock, U. S. Navy Veteran, President of the Friends of the Samuel Smith House and Property, Inc. (East Lyme, CT)</p><p>"I'm finding this to be a "can't put it down" book." - Nancy Sargeant Needham, Granville, VT Town Official</p><p>"Just finished reading the Granville Hermit by Robert Foster . This is a great book. I have been to Granville, VT, many times, and this brought back many happy memories. The book is historical fiction and incorporates all the elements I love. It begins in the early years of the town and centers around the man who becomes the Granville hermit. It explores the history of the area and what happens in the deep recesses of people's minds. You become an observer as life, and circumstances drive a man escape to a solitary existence in the mountains he loves. As in real life, disease, death, war, and greedy despicable people all gang up on a simple man who just wanted what we all want ... To be loved, to love, and to help his friends and neighbors any way he can. " - Lewis Bull, Singer/Songwriter, East Lyme, CT </p><br>
