Armchair narrative at it's best

This book isn't so much a reference as a travelogue of interesting and unusual sites to visit in New England. The combination of history, folklore and fact make this an enjoyable ride for anyone from or interested in New England.

Human nature displayed in its rich and varied indiviuality.

The history of Mr. Chenoweth's narrative is not the stuff of nations & civilizations, but rather that which illuminates the circumstance, the event changed by chance, and most especially our humanity, displayed in its rich and varied individuality. This is a book to be enjoyed in a pensive moment, one in which we can reflect on its stories, on ourselves, our friends and on human nature generally. I enjoyed it immensely, and I think it will be enjoyed by all who can smile at themselves
