A wonderfully written book and I so enjoyed reading about the Victorian life there in Cape May. When you take a stroll around this charming place your imagination can picture the life led there. I think everyone who has or wishes to visit the Cape would like this book.
I saw a copy of this book at a co-workers house and had to have my own copy..We both live and work in town giving tours.This is the first book I've found to describe the lives not only of summer folks but also the residents of this lively little town.I don't know the author personally but I've heard his wonderful stories about daily life in the victorian age.This book is tight and concise,unlike a couple recent tomes about Cape May that ramble and jump eras.Mr Heinly is an intelligent writer,he has gathered his facts and presented them very well.I own many Cape May books and was very impressed with this one.If you are new to the charms of this town,and want to know more-look no further than this one.
Very readable, with great pictures!
