Kathleen Mulvihill's pint-sized guidebook, Discover New England, Explore the Region's Intrigue and Unique Pleasures, is an ode to the region's most curious -- and often less known -- natural treasures and made-made travel destinations. In an age where everything seems to lead to another homogenized shopping excursion, this book celebrates a different way of looking at New England.

In her entertaining travel text, Mulvihill dishes up details about the Desert of Maine with its 40 undulating acres of silt and sand tucked into the sweet, green piney woods in Freeport, shares choice bits of history and mystery about America's Stonehenge, aka New Hampshire's standing stones, and serves up information about Gillette Castle, a medieval fortress in Connecticut. Not to mention numerous other tasty facts and anecdotes about New England's craggy beacons, kettle holes, capital cities, and quirky characters.
