Synopsis:

A wonderfully dressed up and beautifully illustrated tour of America's most beloved bohemia: Greenwich Village. Jaunty and informative, this book includes four walking tours that illuminate the lives and times of some of America's most famous artists and writers. Each itinerary is illustrated with photographs, paintings, maps, quotes, and ephemera that bring to life different aspects of the Village, past and present. Beautifully packaged as a gift book, yet handy, practical, and inspiring, Greenwich Village is of equal interest to tourists, newcomers, native New Yorkers, or anyone captivated by the history and culture of New York. Author Judith Stonehill has composed an excellent, in-depth introduction to the culture and history of one of America's cultural treasures.
