Title: A Sensitive "Vermonty" book
Review: Of any book I've read the masterful description of a man falling in love is most fascinating and heart wrenching. "Seasoned Timber" is about personal morality. It takes place in the 1930's in a small fictional Vermont town at a poor private boarding school. The life portrayed is set against the backdrop of a world in turmoil. The present reader knows World War II was about to start. But Dorothy Canfield Fisher wrote the book in 1939. The principal of the school has fallen in love with a woman half his age and is also grappling with the moral issue of declining a $1 million gift to the school with the stipulation that no Jewish students be allowed.
