Overview
Autumn, A New England Journey, is an homage to nature at her most colorful, festive best. It is a meditative and passionate journey, a visual and literary feast for everyone who loves New England's brilliant autumn colors, rustic charm, pastoral tranquility and tradition of excellent writing. From brooding, shadowed waterfalls to blazing leaves in the morning mist, the 90 full-color photographs capture the fiery magnificence and infinite moods of New England's loveliest, most pensive season. The photographs are brought to life by excerpts from the works of some of America's finest writers: Thoreau, Poe, Melville, Dickinson, Jewett, Frost, and many more.What makes this book unique is that it contains a practical tour-planning guide. An appendix with hand-drawn maps outlines ideal autumn excursions and treks, and also includes short descriptions of the most beautiful and interesting sites in New England -- from Woodstock, Vermont to Mount Washington, New Hampshire to Mount Desert Island in Maine. Also described are places of historical interest, from Boston's Freedom Trail to Connecticut's unforgettable Mystic Seaport Museum.
