Editorial Reviews

By this point, weirdness has become an appealing new norm, so it shouldn't surprise us that Globe Pequot's excellently strange Curiosities series continues to spread throughout the country. The latest to be infected by this gleeful quirkiness is Delaware, which has finally shed its austere reputation as the First State.
