Description
|
|
|
|
With its rich literary tradition, the Midwest provides a wealth of opportunities for bibliophiles to retrace the steps of their favorite writers and characters. This book is a fascinating, illustrated guide to the heartland's most interesting literary sites, which can point you to the actual Main Street that Sinclair Lewis described in his novel of the same name, as well as to the gravestones that inspired Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology. Here too are Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little Houses"; the cave that Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn explored; and the hometown addresses of Ray Bradbury, William S. Burroughs, and Maya Angelou.
