Maine WaysElizabeth Coatsworth Published by The Macmillan Company, New York, 1947 Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth (May 31, 1893 – August 31, 1986) was an American writer of fiction and poetry for children and adults. She won the 1931 Newbery Medal from the American Library Association award recognizing The Cat Who Went to Heaven as the previous year’s « most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. »[1] In 1968 she was a highly commended runner-up for the biennial international Hans Christian Andersen Award for children’s writers.[2] LifeElizabeth Coatsworth was born May 31, 1893, to Ida Reid and William T. Coatsworth, a prosperous grain merchant in Buffalo, New York. She attended Buffalo Seminary, a private girls’ school, and spent summers with her family on the Canadian shore of Lake Erie. She began traveling as a child, visiting the Alps and Egypt at age five.[3]: 97 Coatsworth graduated from Vassar College in 1915 as Salutatorian.[4] In 1916 she received a Master of Arts from Columbia University.[5] She then traveled to eastern Asia, riding horseback through the Philippines, exploring Indonesia and China, and sleeping in a Buddhist monastery. These travels would later influence her writing.[3]: 97 In 1929, she married writer Henry Beston, with whom she had two daughters, Margaret and Catherine.[3]: 97 They lived at Hingham, Massachusetts, and Chimney Farm in Nobleboro, Maine.[6] Her daughter, Kate Barnes (1932–2013), would go on to become accomplished in writing in her own right, being named the first Poet Laureate of Maine.[7] Elizabeth Coatsworth died at her home in Nobleboro, August 31, 1986.[8] Her papers are held in the Kerlan Collection at the University of Minnesota[5] and Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine,[9] with a small archive from late in her career in the de Grummond Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi.[8] There is also a collection of her papers at the Maine Women Writers Collection held at the University of New England, Portland, Maine.[10] CareerCoatsworth began her career publishing her poetry in magazines. Her first book was a poetry collection for adults, Fox Footprints, in 1912. A conversation with her friend, Louise Seaman, who had just founded the first children’s book publishing department in the United States at Macmillan, led Coatsworth to write her first children’s book, The Cat and the Captain.[3]: 97 In 1930 she published The Cat Who Went to Heaven. The story of an artist who is painting a picture of Buddha for a group of monks, it won the Newbery Medal for « the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children ».[1] Nineteenth-Century Children’s Writers says « Coatsworth reached her apogee in her nature writing, notably The Incredible Tales ».[9] These four books were published for adults in the 1950s. They tell the story of the Perdrys, a family living in the forests of northern Maine who may not be entirely human. Coatsworth had a long career, publishing over 90 books from 1910 to her autobiography and final book in 1976. Chimney Farm is a historic farm property at 617 East Neck Road in Nobleboro, Maine. The heart of the farm is an early 19th-century farmhouse, which was from 1931 to their respective deaths home to the writers Henry Beston (1888–1968) and Elizabeth Coatsworth (1893–1986). Both were prominent regional award-winning writers, and the farm property played a prominent role on some of their writings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1] Description and historyChimney Farm stands on a peninsula called East Neck, one of two that separate two lobes of Damariscotta Lake. Between the two peninsulas is a cove of the lake; the Chimney Farm property originally extended entirely across East Neck between the eastern lobe of the lake and the cove, but is now reduced to 20 acres (8.1 ha) fronting the lake. The property includes a farmhouse and barn, a small writing cabin, and a small family cemetery that includes the graves of both Henry Beston and Elizabeth Coatsworth. The farmhouse is a rambling 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a Cape style main block, a tall ell to the east, and a long single-story ell running north from the north west corner of the main block. The original portion of the house dates to the early 19th century, but has a later 19th-century turret-like projection built above its front door. The west-facing side door is sheltered by an elaborately carved hood, exhibiting floral motifs and intricate carvings of animals.[2] The farm was purchased in 1931 by Henry Beston and Elizabeth Coatsworth, who had married in 1929. Coatsworth was noted for her children’s books, winning the Newbery Medal in 1931 for The Cat Who Went to Heaven, and Beston was also known as a writer of children’s books. His most famous book, The Outermost House, was a work of nature writing said to have had a major influence on Rachel Carson. Aspects of Chimney Farm are discernable in the writings of both authors.
