T he 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.
