“‘Away,’ most of us called anywhere more than five miles beyond the county line. Or ‘the other side of the hills.’ All I knew for certain is that since we could not go to them, the mind readers and barnstorming four-man baseball teams and one-elephant family circuses came to us.’’

— From the novel Northern Borders (1994), by Howard Frank Mosher (1942-2017), set in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, where Mosher lived in the town of Irasburg.
