Catch Chris' interview here for connections to Lehane and Scorsese's Shutter Island, as well as some of the fascinating history behind the real harbor islands. And you don't have to wait until the spring and summer to get out there--head out to Spectacle Island this weekend for some adventures in the snow! Read more on how to get there here...

In The Boston Globe today, Kim Foley MacKinnon and Boston Baby: A Field Guide for Urban Parents are featured in "A Friend of the Family." Globe editor Kaufman writes,

"So let us now praise Kim Foley MacKinnon, author of the new book, Boston Baby: A Field Guide for Urban Parents, for doing all the legwork necessary to keep local families entertained for months, perhaps years to come."

 

Don't let the winter get you down, use Boston Baby to get outside and explore the city with your kids! 

Read Local Boston readers, send us your thoughts and comments on the interviews!

Chris Klein, author of Discovering the Boston Harbor Islands, will be LIVE on NECN at 7:45am this Thursday, February 18, 2010. The timing of the interview could not be better, as Scorsese’s Shutter Island hits theaters on Friday. Tune in as Klein reveals the true stories behind the reformatories, quarantine stations, and social institutions that once existed on the Boston Harbor Islands.

Be sure to catch the interview and turn to the pages of Discovering the Boston Harbor Islands for a more historical perspective on the real harbor islands--plus be sure to pick up a copy for all the Shutter Island fans in your life!
