During his "Chowder Summer", David Norton Stone spent a season doing what many of us only dream of: eating clam chowder at every available opportunity. In this final book in the Rhode Island Quahog series that began with Clamcake Summer and Stuffie Summer, Stone serves up a few bowls of history, quarts of the chowder he enjoyed around Rhode Island, Manhattan and New England, as well as a few oyster crackers of humor. David Norton Stone was born in Providence, Rhode Island. He is the author of Trial of Honor: A Novel of a Court-Martial and the three titles in the Rhode Island Quahog Trilogy: Clamcake Summer, Stuffie Summer and Chowder Summer. He is a graduate of Bishop Hendricken High School, Yale and The University of Connecticut School of Law.
