DESCRIPTION:
Massachusetts is the land of the frappe and the imaginary scrod, giant pumpkins and magic tricks. Massachusetts is where a day at the beach means a 40-mile stretch of fine sand and big rollers, where getting a piece of pie takes the cake, and where Heartbreak Hill looms for us all.. You don’t have to scratch far below the surface to discover a sense of whimsy. We may be the birthplace of basketball, but we’ve perfected baseball martyrdom
A celebration for residents and a field guide for the uninitiated, this delightful book highlights the beloved customs, recipes, people, and places that make Massachusetts a state apart.
"Light reading but nothing new" according to R. C Sheehy. This book was enjoyable but to anyone whose grown up in Massachusetts it's like that third pass around of left overs. The book doesn't offer any new insights into tried and true stories. I would say this book is best suited for tourists or newcomes who want to know a little of the customs of the area they are moving too. If you've lived in Boston/Massachusetts or ever taken a trolley tour of the area, this book is below your level.
