Excerpt from Book of Words: The Pageant of Darien, And, the Pageant of a Residential CommunityThe Pageant of Darien is the drama of a residential community. Situated thirty-eight miles from New York City and thirty - five miles from New Haven, having neither manufacturing nor business and de siring none, Darien is distinctly a town of homes. It is a town of people who want to have a good, comfortable home, who most of them have to earn their living in the city but want to bring up their children in the country. The Pageant of Darien is a study in dramatic form of the history, life and problems of a small town within the home radius of a great metropolitan centre. What is home to a commuter? Is there any interest, beauty, inspiration in his hurried, to and fro existence? Of what nature was the'country and village life that led up to the life of the suburban town of the present? The Pageant of Darien will depict the story of its development as a town. The episodes either reproduce actual events or characterize the life in the town at suc cessive periods.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
