THE idea for this book grew out of the fact that 

 Miss Abbott's little paper-bound Trolley Trips, 

 describing the old New England neighborhoods 

 that may now be reached by the trolley, have met with 

 an astonishingly wide demand. In this more pretentious 

 work Miss Abbott has utilized her fund of material to 

 draw a delightful picture of the quaint byways of New 

 England. But in this case her wanderings are not lim- 

 ited by gaps in the trolley circuit, or by daylight or car- 

 fares. Historic spots of national interest, curious or 

 charming out-of-the-way places, Indian legends and 

 Yankee folk-lore find full justice in Miss Abbott's enter- 

 taining pages. Fiction could never interpret New 

 England so honestly as does this volume.
