About this ebook
Kent Knowles writes boys' adventure stories he despises, lives with his sister on Cape Cod, has not left the town in twenty years, and is generally agreed to be a quahaug — a clam that shuts.

Fifty-three plates by Winslow Homer and John Sloan trace the shore, the street, and the city from 1795 to 1928, matching Kent's passage from Cape Cod to London.
