Here at last is the essential reference for fans of Elisabeth Ogilvie''s books--and a wonderful introduction to one of Maine''s most prolific writers. A Mug-up, which refers to the old fishing term for a coffee break, presents a biography of Ogilvie, exploring her ancestry, childhood, education, emergence as a writer, and her life on Maine''s spectacular islands. It also offers a sampling of some of her earlier and out-of-print writing and synopses of all her published writings, and explores some recurrent themes in her work. The book''s appendices provide a glossary; concordances for names and locations; lists of boat names, flora, and fauna; and a bibliography.
