Mel Allen discusses HERE IN NEW ENGLAND

Mel Allen, Yankee Magazine editor, stops by to discuss and sign his new book - Here in New England: Unforgettable Stories of People, Places, and Memories That Connect Us All.

From the time he published his first story in Yankee magazine in 1979 to the day he retired as the magazine’s editor in 2025, Mel Allen's writing has captured the unique essence of New England and the people who call it home. Here for the first time, Allen has collected 45 of his favorite pieces, adding intimate new introductions and postscripts to put them in context. The feel and flavor of New England lives within the covers of this engaging collection. Sometimes a book lets us see with new eyes. This is one of those books.
