Introduction
======================================================================
Sara Ware Bassett (October 22, 1872 in Newton, Massachusetts - July
18, 1968) was an American writer of fiction and nonfiction. Her novels
primarily deal with New England characters, and most of them are set
in two fictional Cape Cod villages she created, Belleport and Wilton.
Her first novel, 'Mrs. Christy's Bridge Party', was published in 1907.
She subsequently wrote more than 40 additional novels, continuing to
write and publish into the late 1950s. Many of her novels focus on
love stories and humorously eccentric characters. A number of her
works are available as free e-books. Two of her novels, 'The Taming of
Zenas Henry' (1915) and 'The Harbor Road' (1919), were adapted as the
motion pictures 'Captain Hurricane' (1935) and 'Danger Ahead' (1921).

For much of her life, Bassett divided her time between homes in Cape
Cod and Princeton, Massachusetts. She also taught kindergarten in the
public schools of Newton, Massachusetts.

She died in Newton Centre, Massachusetts on July 18, 1968.
