But Bruce Irving, former producer of the popular PBS show \u003cem\u003eThis Old House\u003c\/em\u003e, will have none of that. In a collection of short essays, Irving taps into our collective consciousness by extolling the comforting sense of place we associate with such common and not-so-common New England sights as stone walls, village greens, lobster boats, classic ski runs, and garden cemeteries, to name but a few--symbols of enduring importance that are also still full of life and character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Curl up in your favorite chair, relax, and take a tour of our common heritage--or take this insightful cultural guide with you as you travel New England's highways and byways.
