"Here is the gracious, warm-hearted Cape again, an entirely new book on the people, the adventure, the legends and traditions and folk-lore, laughter and tears. Written with genuine affection, Lawrence Green declares that this is the book which has given him the deepest satisfaction. The Cape's three centuries live again in these vivid pages. Many untold tales, unknown and forgotten characters have been recorded at last for posterity. Lawrence Green's Tavern of the Seas was a fine book, but many thousands of grateful readers regard Grow Lovely, Growing Old as his masterpiece."
