Personal Geography: Almost an Autobiography
by Elizabeth Coatsworth

Elizabeth Coatsworth traveled extensively throughout her life, often alone. From the moors of northern England and the mountains of Java to her own doorstep in Nobleboro, Maine, Coatsworth wisely reflects on her long and remarkable life. Personal Geography contains selections from a half century of her writings; ninety four stories, reminiscences, and reflections in her characteristic unhurried prose.

"If man were less adaptable life would be much more vivid. He would be more often in a state of surprise and not carry with him a damning capacity for making comfortably commonplace the experiences into which he falls. Above all perhaps this is true in traveling. It is always the place one has not seen which gives the sharpest tang to one's journey. No matter how miraculous a spot may seem at first glance one feels at home in it after a few days; the fine bloom of mystery is soon thumb-marked; it is the next place which hangs like a mirage along the horizon."
