I read it yesterday. I love them. I wish I could read more of their adventures.

It also reminded me of how surprised I was, as a child to find that England had 'our' place-names.(Falmouth, Barnstable, Plymouth, Chatham) My mother said just what you said-- they were homesick.

It was fun for me seeing my childhood world of Cape Cod from the outside. Made me homesick too.
