by Van Reid
This is the fifth book in Van Reid Moosepath League series, which follows the adventures of a very amusing men's club in late nineteenth century Maine. It's been a long while since I had read one of them, but Reid's prose style is so easygoing and his stories so enjoyable that I had not trouble at all remembering everything and getting right back into the setting and characters. Since Fiddler's Green begins with the wedding of Mr. Walton, chairman of the Moosepath league, the bulk of the narrative centers instead on Walton's friend and factotum Sundry Moss. Over the course of the books, Moss falls in love, helps a destitute child, and gets involved with a very strange pair of clans in central Maine. There's plenty of humor, romance, and mystery rolled up into a really fun and engaging tale.
