DAMARISCOTTA The book world rarely sees a new book with such an unusual history as “Chickens, Gin, and a Maine Friendship: The Correspondence of E. B. White and Edmund Ware Smith.” New work by a famous, long-deceased writer is big news. But two such writers in the same book? This book comprises correspondence between White and Smith during the 1950s and 1960s, when they both had residences in their beloved Maine.
The letters lay forgotten in a bank vault in Damariscotta for nearly four decades, packed in boxes with other documents belonging to Skidompha Public Library. In 2016, a Skidompha staff member discovered the letters and realized immediately that they should be published.
