Ocracoke in the Fifties
Ocracoke in the Fifties
By Dare Wright, model, fashion photographer, & children's author ("The Lonely Doll," "Holiday for Edith & the Bears," etc.), "Ocracoke in the Fifties" is Wright's only book for adults.  In print for the first time, this book is a tribute to one of Dare's favorite places.  It is also a time capsule of a unique island culture just past the midpoint of the twentieth century.  And surprisingly, it is a testament to the timelessness of Ocracoke.

116 pages with text & dozens of vintage photos (people, ponies, hotels, fishing boats, graveyards, sandy paths, & public buildings).
