The Town Where I Was Born: Stories Of Old Wickford is a collection of short stories by W. C. B. that takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the author's hometown of Wickford, a small coastal town in Rhode Island. The stories are set in the early to mid-20th century and offer a glimpse into the lives of the town's residents during a simpler time.Through the eyes of various characters, including fishermen, shopkeepers, and children, readers are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and people knew their neighbors by name. The stories are filled with vivid descriptions of the town's landmarks, such as the old stone bridge and the historic Wickford Village, as well as the natural beauty of the surrounding area.Despite the idyllic setting, the stories also touch on the challenges and hardships faced by the town's residents, such as the impact of the Great Depression and the devastation of Hurricane Carol in 1954. Through it all, however, the spirit of the town and its people shines through, offering a heartwarming and nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era.Overall, The Town Where I Was Born: Stories Of Old Wickford is a charming and engaging collection of stories that will appeal to anyone with an interest in small-town life, local history, or simply a good tale well told.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
