best camping places in new england image
Clandestin
Can anyone give me some popular titles or books that take place in New England during the fall or winter? Thanks.
Answer
Russell Banks - Affliction
Richard Russo - Nobody's Fool
Both of these books are dominated by a New England winter. Both write of New England in other works as well, some fall some winter, but these two works are dominated by the season.
Oh and one for the fantasy camp
Julian May's Galactic Milieu series takes place mostly in New England and has number of pivotal scenes focused around winter including at least one telekinetic enhanced motorcycle race on ice.

How do two adults and two teenagers travel to England, inexpensively, without staying in a hostel?
Answer
ok, well before you totally discount it, there are some which are very nice, and since you can stay in a family room, or pair of double rooms, in a castle, or beautiful manor house, give it another think...

you could also email and negotiate prices with b&bs. ive knocked prices down by skipping breakfast, which means they can sleep in : ) its actually reduced the rate by a fair amount.
camping is super cheap, and you can buy kit here or bring your own over. public transport is good into cities, and variable in the countryside. i just stayed at a spectacular place in the countryside; new shower block, beautiful farm, 4 miles from the sea. £5 a night for utter bliss, and i was completely alone : ) the smaller places are cheaper, and quieter. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/
best of all, and utterly free ~home swopping. you let a family stay in your place, you stay in theirs. my parents did it a few times when we were small as it ment we'd have places ok for kids to stay in, with tons of toys and whatnot. we also had our cats, rabbits etc fed, though the dog went to kennels. we got their car for free, too, and they had ours. there are loads of sites doing it, all over the world.
obv, it means you can self cater.
there are loads, this is one run by a major news paper. http://www.guardianhomeexchange.co.uk/
you pay a small fee to register, then pay only for flights! take a look and see what's on offer : )
