Charles Hanson Towne wrote this travelogue of 1939 New England; readers searching for The Shop of Dreams will not find that title here.
Not a running book
Despite the title, the chapters are about the region itself: old houses, summer theatres, Old Lyme, a chance meeting and a jab at roadside billboards.
This reprint adds a newly commissioned introduction.
From the publisher
First published in 1939, this vintage book contains a charming travelogue of the author's experiences jogging around New England, north-eastern United States. An authentic glimpse into American life in the early twentieth century, "Jogging Around New England" is not to be missed by fans and collectors of vintage travel writing.
Contents include: "On the Hurry of Americans", "A Dig at Dare-devils", "In Praise of Suburban Architecture", "A Little Fling at Gas-stations and Outdoor Advertising", "Getting into Connecticut", "Lunch at Silvermine", "Guildford and its Old Houses", "A Chance Meeting", "Pine Orchard", "Summer Theatres", "Old Lyme and Round About", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
