"[...]him hated, his vanity, his generosity, his despairing outcries against the hostility he had so well earned … at the sight of the end of all this there was no heart in Hillsboro that was not wrung with a pity and terror more penetrating and purifying even than Shakespeare has made the centuries feel for Lear. Ah, at the foot of Hemlock Mountain we do not need books to help us feel the meaning of life! Nor do we need them to help us feel the meaning of death. You, in the cities, living with a feverish haste in the present only, and clutching at it as a starving man does at his last crust, you cannot understand the comforting sense we have of belonging almost as much to the past and future as to the present. Our own youth is not dead to us as yours is, from the lack of anything to recall it to you, and people we love do not slip quickly into[...]".

Wonderful Collection of Short Stories By tumbleweed Hillsboro People is a compilation of short stories about the people of Hillsboro, a rural town in Vermont.The stories are set in various time periods in Hillsboro, mainly the 1800s.Each story is deeply human and engaging, focusing a particular Hillsboro person or incident. Dorothy Canfield Fisher writes in a style both straightforward and intelligent, and the tone is redemptive without being trite or syrupy.I picked this up after reading Understood Betsy (as an adult) and didn't know what to expect. It was a pleasant surprise. If you enjoyed Understood Betsy you'll enjoy Hillsboro People; this is one of the best pieces of fiction I've read in a long time.It saddens me that there are few authors writing fiction of this quality today. Please feel free to add your recommendations of similar authors and books in the comments.

Thompson I read Understood Betsy for the first time as a child, and I've read it a couple times since. It's a good book, and well before its time, as it's actually a screed against helicopter parenting, a term that didn't exist in the 60s when I read it for the first time. More recently, I ran across this compilation of stories set in the same part of Vermont where the bulk of Understood Betsy takes place. I'm glad I did. These are very good stories, with a slightly old fashioned sensibility (not surprisingly, since they were written several decades ago). Unlike Understood Betsy, these are stories written for an adult audience. I enjoyed them a lot.
