JEWETT, SARAH ORNE (18491909) , American novelist, was born in
South
  Berwick, Maine, on the 3rd of September 1849. She was a daughter of the physician
Theodore
  H. Jewett (18151878), by whom she was greatly influenced, and whom she has
drawn
  in A Country
Doctor
  (1884). She studied at the Berwick
Academy
 , and began her literary career in 1869, when she contributed her first story to the Atlantic Monthly. Her best
work
  consists of short stories and sketches, such as those in. The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896). The People of Maine, with their characteristic speech, manners and traditions, she describes with peculiar charm and realism, often recalling the

Among her publications are: Deephaven (1877), a
series

Doctor
