Discover the art of printmaking with self-taught printmaker & compulsive wanderer Sherrie York. Her exhibition of wildlife (mostly birds) and naturescapes is now on display at the Walden Pond Visitor Center. Hailing from Bristol, Maine, Sherrie is a linocut artist, sketching on linoleum blocks which are then carved in successive layers to transfer colorful prints onto paper. Her linocuts have been presented worldwide.

A Tale of Two Authors: Charles Dickens’ Influence on Louisa May Alcott
Imagine admiring an author while you are growing up and then ending up in the same stratosphere of success as them. That is what happened to Louisa May Alcott, who was described by contemporaries as an ardent and enthusiastic admirer of Charles Dickens—a writer two decades her senior. Both Dickens and Alcott wrote novels, short stories, and essays; both loved the stage and pursued amateur acting; both integrated social issues into their writings; both went from using pen names to real names; and both became household names. By 1893, only Dickens’ novels were more circulated than Alcott’s in United States public libraries.
