About the author

Born in Philadelphia in 1874, Zephine Humphrey studied at Smith College and later made her home in Dorset, Vermont. She wrote under the name Zephine Humphrey and became known as an American author of fiction and short essays.

Her writing was closely tied to Vermont and to New England life more broadly. University of Vermont materials describe her as a noted writer whose books included Over Against Green Peak, The Beloved Community, Green Mountains to Sierras, A Book of New England Things, and The Story of Dorset.

Humphrey also published in magazines including The Atlantic, and her work suggests a writer drawn to landscape, community, and inward reflection rather than literary showiness. She died in Dorset in 1956, leaving behind a body of work remembered for its regional feeling and thoughtful prose.
