Dorothy Sterling (1913-2008) was a native New Yorker who lived for many years on Cape Cod in Wellfleet. She made many trips to Nantucket, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, and Long Island. She was a painstaking and thorough researcher with a long list of natural history, biography, and fiction books to her credit. Robert Finch was an award-winning nature writer, radio journalist, and author of several books about Newfoundland and Cape Cod, including The Outer Beach. He lived on Cape Cod for over fifty years, and spent two decades of summers in Squid Tickle. He died in 2024. Artist Winifred Lubell's wonderful drawings have illustrated many of Dorothy Sterling's natural history books. She also lives on Cape Cod.
