Cape Cod Collected is a compilation of some of Jim Coogan's and Jack Sheedy's best previously published tales, edited and updated for a new generation of readers. This collection is their fifth collaborative effort and represents for them, a sort of "Cape Cod's Greatest Hits." The 144 page paperback with over 30 pictures, showcases many of the most popular subjects the two award-winning authors have written about over the years. Readers will find stories about shipwrecks and sea captains, interesting local characters and forgotten places, some enterprising Cape Codders, a few witches and even a story about the revenge by a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright on a Provincetown librarian. These collected tales bring the Cape Cod of old back to life once again for readers to explore. Cape Cod Collected is an entertaining and enlightening return trip through the Cape's storied past, presented by Cape Cod's most prolific and respected writing teams.
