About this title

Reviews

The Tougias brothers (authors of several travel guides on rural Massachusetts, including Quiet Places of Massachusetts, LJ 9/1/96) take the reader on 15 leisurely driving tours of New England's fall foliage. Highlighting places of major interest on planned routes through areas like the Litchfield Hills, southern Berkshire County, and the Northeast Kingdom, the authors include mention of special fall events (festivals and hayrides), leaf peeper's hotlines, and unusual ways to see the colors (whitewater rafting and canoeing). However, much of this information and more can be found in a number of popular New England guides, and the Tougiases provide only bare-bones information on places to stay (often just a phone number) and even less on where to eat. The illustrations are garish oil paintings of generic fall scenes by Mark Tougias. Only for complete (and well-used) regional collections.?Linda M.
