Cape Cod Book Reviews

This free sample makes the book look very attractive. It makes an excellent addition to the many books celebrating the beauty of Cape Cod.

He has that honor.

Chuck's missus?

Got to admit, you broke me up there, Monpo, because I was just getting ready to recommend "From Solon to Socrates" by Victor Ehrenberg. But that takes place in ancient Greece (Walter remembers it well.)

Walter's recommendation sounds great-I plan to read it. Anything that brings tears to Walter's eyes will be high on my list.

That's the sequel to "A Summer With Solon."

Thanks, Monpo! We'll see what happens in November.

Congrats, Libby!

Actually, it wasn't Hawthorne, but Longfellow who wrote the poem "Evangeline."

Hawthorne's poem 'Evangeline' is based on my ancestry. Completely different from Boo Ya.

Hi folks. There's "A Book of New England Legends & Folklore in Prose & Poetry" by Samuel Adams Drake (1833-1905). This book combines three of my favorite things: Ghost stories, Samuel Adams beer (I prefer Oktoberfest), and Drakes Cakes (I prefer Yodels). Others include: Jasper's brace of ghost books -"Haunted Cape Cod & the Islands" and "Haunted Inns of New England," Nadler's "Haunted Island" (about Martha's Vineyard), Balliett's "Nantucket Ghosts," Gordon and Joseph's "Cape Encounters," and Reynard's tome "Narrow Land" for local folklore and tales. Stop by the Dennis Public Library or your local library for these titles and others. Now let me get back to raking leaves!!!

Jack Sheedy could probably tell you better than I could, but New England Folklore by somebody was spooky in spots.
