Sally Pratt McLean (Sarah Pratt McLean Greene) “Cape Cod Folks” Vintage Hardcover 1904

Cape Cod Folks
Originally published in 1881, Sally Pratt McLean’s regional classic caused a sensation upon its release due to its thinly veiled, real-life characterizations of Cape Cod residents.
This vintage Grosset & Dunlap edition features photographic illustrations from the early stage play adaptation, making it an appealing artifact of both regional American literature and theatrical history.
It serves as an interesting addition to any collection focused on coastal New England lore or turn-of-the-century drama.
