"You can go home again, if only in memory," Bruce Coffin assures us in this illuminating record of growing up in a small Vermont village fifty years ago....With the remarkable clarity of Norman Rockwell paintings, the author reveals the people, sights, sounds, and atmosphere of Woodstock, whose natural and manmade beauty has made it a memorable landmark.
