Baltimore: A Not Too Serious History (Maryland Paperback Bookshelf)
With a light touch that skims over the years, barely touching here and there, [Stockett] views a variety of incidents and scenes that help to make history... In similar fashion she takes the reader to other places in the city, waves away present appearances and untangles the threads that have been woven about and through each one, and gradually carries the reader down through its story.(New York Times Book Review)[There are many] quaint and picturesque and romantic spots which the discerning eye of Miss Stockett has discovered all about the town... [S]he has told me of a quantity of places I never knew before, and has discovered the beauty that lies in the heart of the familiar and the charm of tradition to be found underlying the modern commonplace.(Baltimore Sun)
