Publisher's Note "Philistines at the Hedgerow" is a kaleidoscope of history, wealth, intrigue, and territorial feuds--all focused on Long Island. The characters range from Indians who once fished local waters for food through witches and pirates to the cream of Hollywood and New York society who are now fishing for more exotic fare. In this insider's look at a unique cultural phenomenon, Steven Gaines narrates the listener's personal tour of the playground of the superrich. Abridged.
Industry Reviews "'Philistines at the Hedgerow' deftly fashions the biographies of the purveyors and owners of the Hamptons' choicest real estate into a narrative of surprising unity and velocity." New Yorker - Jay McInerney (06/08/1998)
