  From the drifting sand dunes and quaint shops of Provincetown to Nantucket's white-washed verandas and craggy beaches, Cape Cod Stories captures all of the rustic beauty and history of this picturesque area in the words of America's best writers. Revel in the musings of Kurt Vonnegut on Hyannis Port, Sylvia Plath on tide pool mussel hunting, and Helen Keller on her first whiff of salty sea air; relive the adventures of Herman Melville in Nantucket, or brave John Cheever's depressing version of summer romance, The Chaste Clarissa. Including these and other writers, this hearty anthology will inspire both travelers and readers to immerse themselves in the most outstanding writing of one of New England's most venerable resort destinations.
