- Sparrow, Donald B. A Cape Cod Native Returns – You Can Go Home Again. Great Oaks. 2002. 164p. Soft wraps. Amusing and perceptive vignettes about a sleepy little fishing, farming and seafaring village on Cape Cod, and the changes in the author’s home town brought about by the post war boom in tourism and retirement homes and the establishment of a Federal Seashore on his section of town. Coming back home after retiring, 40 years later, he hardly recognized the town he wrote about in his earlier, (1999), book “Growing Up On Cape Cod”. In this book the author tells how his neighbors lived prior to the war and how they have responded to the many changes in their town which have affected where they work and shop, how they communicate, the way they travel and how they spend their leisure time. Sparrow writes from the vantage point of an eleventh generation Cape Codder. In retirement he resumed his life-long love affair with the area where he cut asparagus and pulled turnips, roamed the fields and woodlands, swam and fished in the ponds, camped and built bonfires on the beach. Miraculously, he is still able to relive many of his childhood experience in an area which is largely unchanged, unspoiled, preserved by the coming of the National Seashore. (M). $14.95.
