Sylvia, a city girl more at home with animals than with people, has come to the Maine Woods to live with her grandmother. One summer afternoon in the late 1800s, her life is changed forever when she meets an attractive young ornithologist searching for birds to snare, stuff, preserve, and display. <br><p><br>With consummate literary skill, Jewett dramatizes the storm of emotions Sylvia feels both for this young man and for the natural world, and especially for the rare white heron the ornithologist is so eager to possess. Mr. Alvord's pictures are as delicate as Sylvia's emotions and as precise as Jewett's descriptions of Sylvia's inner struggle. 277153 1990 A White Heron total:77|5:19|4:27|3:20|2:11|1:0| 77 285 94 5 5 0 false false Sat Jun 14 19:35:52 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 19:20:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jun 02 19:43:37 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 15:47:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Mar 05 18:52:22 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 05 19:00:34 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Mon Nov 19 07:27:07 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 19 07:27:07 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Fri May 11 10:49:19 -0700 2007 Fri May 11 10:49:51 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sat Nov 28 16:16:18 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 16:16:18 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 26 04:04:11 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 04:04:11 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 01 08:19:37 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 30 15:54:33 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 08:19:37 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 14:23:32 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 14:23:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 29 09:52:18 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 09:52:18 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Aug 29 11:55:12 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 11:57:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Aug 06 18:26:30 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 18:26:30 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 03 16:48:21 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 16:48:21 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 29 17:34:43 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 17:34:43 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jul 06 11:02:04 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 11:02:24 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jun 26 06:59:04 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 06:59:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jun 24 19:26:49 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 19:26:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jun 24 10:08:09 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 10:08:09 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Jun 22 00:56:50 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 00:57:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 02 20:05:02 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 20:05:02 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=285665
