Sarah Orne Jewett authored a number of short stories and novels. The Country of the Pointed Firs is considered to be her masterpiece. Deephaven is her first and best-known collection of short stories.
Consider The Pearl of Orr’s Island, a Maine-based book by Harriet Beecher Stowe, who Jewett considered a significant influence.
Consider O Pioneers!, the first book in Willa Cather’s Great Plains trilogy, dedicated to Jewett. Consider also Cather’s My Antonia, which focuses on a childhood close to the natural world.
Consider also Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, which is a Regionalist work, much like Jewett’s stories, though it focuses on the South.
