Description
Cape Cod and its surrounding islands are places of extraordinary beauty, with magnificent ocean vistas, spectacular sand dunes, quiet marshes, and historic seaside villages that draw people back year after year. This book brings these landscapes to life through over 50 original oil paintings by Kathryn Kleekamp, accompanied by rare historic photographs. The paintings capture the fundamental nature of this remarkable place, revealing the stories of those who farmed the land, fished the seas, captained great schooners, and waited at home for a loved one's return. For the inquiring visitor, these stories provide background for thoughtful reflection. The book also includes traditional Cape and Island recipes as another link to the past. A new edition featuring over 20 additional images and a chapter on current conservation efforts directed at preserving the area's natural resources adds depth to this captivating portrayal of Cape Cod and its islands.
