Granite State Stories: Celia Thaxter's “Among the Isles of Shoals”

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, August 9, 2007.

Celia Thaxter’s 1870 book “Among the Isles of Shoals” put the nine rocky islands off the coast of New Hampshire on the national map. At one time the home to thousands, today the Shoals are for the most part uninhabited, but their mystique remains, due in part to the beautiful descriptions by its most famous resident Celia Thaxter. We’ll explore the history, mystery and attraction of our Isles of Shoals on the latest Granite State Stories.

Guests

  • Julia Older, Editor of “Celia Thaxter: Selected Writings and Anthology” and author of two novels “The Island Queen: Celia Thaxter and the Isles of Shoals” and “This Desired Place: The Isles of Shoals”
  • Laurence Bussey , administrator of Smuttynose Island, founding member and Past President of the Isles of Shoals Historic and Research Association (ISHRA), and owner of Northeast Yachts
