Literary Trail of Greater Boston by Susan Wilson and the Boston History Collaborative
LITERARY TRAIL OF GREATER BOSTON is part tour guide, part literary history, altogether charming." - Robert B. Parker, author of Spenser Books
"This lively guidebook invites residents to take a new look at our area's Literary Heritage...A spirit of inclusiveness welcomes Malcolm X and Fannie Farmer alongside the Alcotts and the Jameses..." - Boston Magazine review
"A sprightly and informative little guidebook, packed with tidbits about literary figures, publishers, bookstores, libraries, and other historic sites on the newly designated Literary Trail...All that a guidebook should be: compact, easy to use, informative, and entertaining." - Kirkus Review
What the press are saying about the Literary Trail
Editor's Pick
Yankee Magazine 2001 New England Annual Guide
"Bold and daring in concept...It's one of the most unique and fascinating sightseeing trips you'll ever experience. Whether tourist or resident, the Literary Trail will bring the great names in literature to life."
Frank Avruch from FRANK AVRUCH'S MAN ABOUT TOWN.
"Integral to the Trail is the recognition that these 19th century luminaries largely resided in three different places - Boston, Cambridge, and Concord - but were in close contact with each other by rail or coach along the twenty mile route."
New York Times
"The Literary Trail...showcases the best of our nation's literary history."
