Nantucket: The Far-Away Island
Used Book in Good Condition
To this very day, the matchless glory of Nantucket is that her simple air of antiquity and charm remain altogether genuine, for nowhere else in America can anyone wander so many lanes and streets adorned entirely by dwellings that were built in the centuries gone by. And all around Nantucket still are those other aspects of this island that shall never ever grow old: the salty twang of the wharves, the sweet fragrance of the wind across the moors, the fighting tug of a bluefish on the end of a line, the pull of a tiller in a stiffening breeze, and the heave of a comber breaking over the swimmer’s head. In this one classic volume, William Oliver Stevens has used words, as well as sketches to capture for all time the spirit of this far-away island, with just enough history to make us appreciate what it is that can be seen in present-day Nantucket.
