The MDIslander and The Ellsworth American included Foley Craddock for their suggested gift list of Maine Books:

The Islander

The Ellsworth American

Three anthologies from this year are worth noting — all of them quite distinct from one another.

“When Foley Craddock Tore Off My Grandfather’s Thumb: The Collected Stories of Ruth Moore and Eleanor Mayor” (Blackberry Press) is a delightful look at coastal life and wholesome Maine characters.

Moore and Mayor were regional writers who spent many years on Gott’s Island. Many of their stories communicate a way of life rather than characters.
