Author Event: Summer Stories

BLUE HILL, Maine - Sedgwick artist Leslie Anderson will talk about her new book, Summer Stories at the Blue Hill Public Library on Thursday July 10th at 7:00 PM. Summer Stories features a delightful series of paintings by Leslie Anderson along with a dozen short stories inspired by these paintings. Three of the ten Maine authors of stories in the book will be there to read from their works: Anna Noyes, Kathryn Hall, and Laura Levenson.

Anderson's works capture people and events characteristic of a summer in Maine-for example, Hauling Buoys, Fair Night, Clammer, Hay Day, and Last Night at the Lake. The accompanying stories, by ten acclaimed and award-winning Maine writers, animate the paintings, revealing and honoring the genuine uniqueness of a summer in Maine.

Leslie Anderson and her husband spend much of the year on their farm in Sedgwick. She paints and sells art from her studio-gallery and her husband grows and sells cut flowers.

This event is sponsored by the Blue Hill Public Library. Books will be available for sale and signing. There is no charge, and everyone is welcome. For more information, call the Library at 374-5515.
