Resting among Us
Too often, the lives and works of authors who called Upstate New York home are overshadowed by the icons of New York City. Resting among Us uncovers the region’s rich literary heritage through Steven Huff’s journeys to the graves of writers both famous and celebrated as well as those that have been forgotten. While most Upstate residents are aware that Mark Twain’s grave is in Elmira and that James Fenimore Cooper’s is in Cooperstown, many people don’t realize a noted author may be buried in their local cemetery. For instance, Paul Bowles is buried in Lakemont, John Gardner in Batavia, Rod Serling in Interlaken, John Burroughs in Roxbury, and Adelaide Crapsey in Rochester. Interwoven with these remarkable literary lives are the connected stories of the region’s history and Huff’s own encounters and friendships with some of the writers included in the book. With directions to each author’s grave, as well as photographs of the graves and authors themselves, Resting among Us is the perfect companion for your own enlightening literary pilgrimage.

The Tale of Pigling Bland
In "The Tale of Pigling Bland," Beatrix Potter weaves a charming narrative that follows the adventures of a young pig named Pigling Bland, who embarks on a journey to meticulously reclaim his lost identity as he resists the constraints of farm life. Written in Potter's signature lyrical prose and illustrated with her delicate watercolor art, this story exemplifies the early 20th-century children's literature that blends anthropomorphism with moral undertones, compelling readers to explore themes of independence, natural instincts, and the dichotomy between rural innocence and the complexities of adulthood. The tale not only entertains but also serves as a subtle critique of society's expecta...

The Story of Freginald
Freddy, the smallest and cleverest of the pigs on Bean Farm, is “a pig of many parts, a paragon of porkers” (The New York Times). Detective, politician, ambassador to the Martians—whatever the situation requests, Freddy fits the bill. There’s never a dull moment for Freddy and the other animals on Bean Farm, who are “as fast-mouthed and sharply funny as the Marx Brothers, as aphoristic and gimlet-eyed as astute as Noel Coward, and yet always affectionate and forgiving” (The Globe and Mail). Freddy the Pig, the “Renaissance Pig” (The New York Times) of Bean Farm, is back to thrill his fans of all ages in these all-American children’s classics. The Story of Freginald is anoth...
