Dedicated to Henry Beston's literary classic, The Outermost House, and the spirit of life on the Great Outer Beach of Cape Cod

Here's what they're saying about
Henry Beston's Cape Cod by Don Wilding

"Reading this informative book by Don Wilding, Beston advocate par excellence, is a reminder that Henry Beston was a remarkable man and influential ­far beyond his own expectations. It's fun and valuable to learn what made Henry tick. Mr. Wilding is due a lot of praise for obtaining comments and recollections of Beston by a number of individuals mostly on the Cape whose impressions would have been lost if the author's energy and zeal hadn't been harnessed to Beston's star. We hope Don Wilding has a safe place for all the notes he took and that he and/or others will use and expand on them. A southeastern Massachusetts newspaper man, Don Wilding knows what makes "good copy." This little book is terse, quick and eminently interesting to read. It's a compliment to say that we readers wish there's more to be said about Henry Beston and that we hope Don Wilding will say it."
-- Brad Lynch, The Barnstable Patriot
