Shavings
Joseph C. Lincoln · 1918 · Romance, Drama & Literary
Cape Cod, 1918. Jed Winslow — dreamy maker of toy windmills, forever muttering to himself — passes for the town's simpleton. But when a young widow and a runaway romance land on his doorstep, the 'foolish' whittler proves the wisest, kindest heart in the village.
