Flyers for literary festivals, book readings and writing conferences clogged our in-box this fall. Rather than enduring the 1,000th reading of Mending Wall, we'd rather travel the New England countryside that inspired Robert Frost's poetry.
After that, we might satisfy more wanderlust by visiting other historic sites of great literary achievement and the places that inspired the same. Some are near, some far and all are surprisingly more fun than sitting in a university library with the types of self-important brainiacs we avoided in college.
