It includes the fourteen pieces of the original edition-the twelve short stories framed by two essays-but it is enlarged by the addition of a new afterword and a final story that have not previously appeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the author writes in his preface: \"Arcadia is no place. It is in the mind of the poet or the writer who retreats to it. As Vergil showed us, it is by no means an ideal world. It mirrors the strains of the writer's life and times. My Arcadia is perhaps more georgic than others. It is part Maine, part wider New England, part old England, part the classical Arcadia. . . . Most of these tales deal with an old theme, the struggle for understanding of self in the context of companionship.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete in one volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Shotwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941864112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941864111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mermaid Press of Maine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Stuart Shotwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46465643577599,"sku":"9781941864111","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_778521c1-41b7-4c72-a387-5b04b722cce7.jpg?v=1736346862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-of-arcadia-stuart-shotwell-9781941864111","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
