Book Reviews of America's Most Charming Towns and Villages

Book Review: A Yankee Doodle Dandy
Summary: 5 Stars

Find out what USA Today already knows. This book is a gem for discovering Historical sites, basking in small-town beauty, and having a vacation that is truly realxing. When USA Today wrote about the 10 Best Small Towns to Visit for Christmas what book did they use for their research? Larry T. Brown's October 2000 edition of "America's Most Charming Towns & Villages." Here, readers found out about the unique celebrations held in these small towns: Nevada City's Victorian shopping complete with vendors selling apple cider and roasted chestnuts on their brick streets; Taos's farolitos and sundown procession with bonfires and dancers; Jonesborough, Tenn.where there are no stop lights, and the streetlights shine softly like old gaslights; and Leavenworth, WA - a town of enchanting Bavarianized beauty.

With summer vacations being planned, families who want to forego the expense and chaos of summer hot spots for an educational experience of historical riches and pristine beauty should get this guide to more than 200 towns.

I'd write more but I'm lacing up my boots to travel to Craftsbury, Vermont. I want to see this Colonial Christmas-card town before the warm weather approaches. Then I've got to plan my summer vacation to include Cooperstown, NY. I must see the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum and stop in at the Rose & Kettle restaurant for a home-cooked meal, housed in a ca 1810 home. This guide is a "Must Buy" for the explorer/traveler in your life!
