Distinguished author  artist  calligrapher  and poet Chiang Yee wrote and illustrated a dozen Silent Traveller books  from 1937-1972. The second to focus on an American city was The Silent Traveller in Boston  originally published in 1959. Long out-of-print  the book captures Chiangs quiet and observant views  a new take on an old city  from Beacon Hill to the Fenway  from Copley Square to Jamaica Pond. Chiang travels further afield to neighboring towns on Cape Cod \u0026amp; the Islands  as well as to Concord  Salem  Rockport  and Plymouth. Illustrated with 16 color and 60 black-and-white illustrations by Chiang  the book presents a city that is both fresh and familiar. The reader who knows all about Boston will find new charms; the reader who knows only a little will find an urbane guide with a warm regard for the traditional and a refreshing interest in the human side of the citys past and present. This not-so-silent travel book is more than a pleasant guide for perceptive  leisurely tourists  more than an attractive piece of bookmaking; it is a guide to understanding.
