Stories Set in New England

From the very earliest days New England, first as a colony then as many of the founding states of America, has seemed genteel, almost reserved in its ambitions and the way it presents itself to the world. This volume will disavow you of that notion in short order. The imaginations and pens of such luminaries as Washington Irving, Willa Cather, H P Lovecraft, Sarah Orne Jewett and others bring many views and experiences from this small region of the United States.
