Newport: A Writer's Beginnings
ISBN: 9781469903279 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This colorful memoir of growing up in the Fifties and early Sixties in Newport, RI by award-winning poet and historian, Michael Hogan, provides a rich and multi-layered description of the city in the days before the building of the Newport Bridge.
