This article presents information on the book "As the Earth Turns," by Gladys Hasty Carroll. The heroes of Carroll's story are not the people of the Maine farming community she describes but the four seasons, and they march triumphantly across her pages with a firm and refreshing tread. Winter cold, spring growing, summer heat, and autumn fruit-around these her men and women revolve and have their being. And since these four heroes, magnificent and familiar in their own right, are made to seem convincing, the Maine farmers seem convincing, because the world they live in is so real.
