About this event

Nathaniel Parker Willis and his sister, who wrote under the pen name Fanny Fern, were two of the most popular writers of the 19th century. This walking tour with literary historian Rob Velella explores their literary and journalism careers, both marked by controversy and rivalry, and their connections to other writers, publishers, and reformers.
