Legendary Locals of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Book Review
By Lisa Crawford Watson | Arcadia Publishing
The Magic of Carmel’s Characters–book review
“Carmel” is one of those magical words which conjures up pleasant memories to most who see or hear it. The quaint, seaside Northern California town is known worldwide for a beautiful beaches, awesome trees, perhaps the best golf course in the world, first class restaurants, quality shops, phenomenal art, comfortable inns and the home of some real characters, who have hung out there over the past 100+ years.
Notable local heroes include Actress Betty White, who has a home near her longtime pal, Singer/Actress Doris Day, Actor / Academy Award-winning Director Clint Eastwood (who became Mayor to right some wrongs) and Famed lensman Ansel Adams.
Local area writer Lisa Crawford Watson has done a remarkable job categorizing many of Carmel’s characters in her book, “Legendary Locals of Carmel-by-the-Sea.”
The largely photo/caption book is divided up into Artists, Writers, Photographers, Performers, Mayors & Movers, Shopkeepers, Cuisine, Characters and the Canine Community. Read Craig MacDonald’s book review…>
