Few things stir the heart so indefinably as the moods of autumn in New England. And no other region has yielded poets and writers more consistent in touching the emotions. This title is a celebration of both nature and literature at their festive best. Ninety photographs capture New England's fiery colours and pastoral tranquility and are brought to life by works by Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson E.E. Cummings, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton and many more. A 14-page guide presents maps, excursions and descriptions of the most beautiful sights.

The best therapy for a hot Texas day:
I've never had the pleasure of going to New England during autumn but I desperatly wish to and after enjoying a book like this, the ache is only worse! This is a lovely book to own and browse whenever the hunger for the color of fall leaves, the long stretch of early evening shadows and the smell of buring wood seems far, far away. We have no where near as sectacular (or long) of an autumn in Texas but that doesn't keep many of us from respecting and longing for this most reflective and moody of all... more info
Very good... but suffers from an inherent flaw:
This is indeed a beautiful book. It was originally published in 1988 and re-published last year. But the photos look like they could've been taken last week. There are 90 photos taken throughout New England (mostly in Northern N.E., it seems) and they vary from woodland landscapes to bayside scenes, and a variety of sorts in between. It's nice to see a little diversity because, believe or not, looking at a book full of Autumn landscapes could actually be somewhat monotonous.
The photos in this book are exceptional. Combined with the writings of New England authors this book celebrates the wonder and spirituality of nature that we, non-writers, feel but for which cannot find the words.
Great Memories in U.S.:
I spent two years in Boston and I was surprised at the beauty of New England especially in autumn. This book always reminds me of sweet memories in Boston and beautiful foliage in New England.
