Miss Rumphius

Legacy is at the heart of this beloved classic about Alice Rumphius, a woman who yearned to travel and live by the sea while making the world more beautiful. The real Miss Rumphius, known as the Lupine Lady, left a lasting impact on the coast of Maine with her scattered lupine seeds. The story's timeless quality and exquisite artwork, brought to life through state-of-the-art reproduction, earned it the American Book Award and a permanent place in the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
