Climb aboard with the PBS Books and the Library of Congress as we visit Delaware on our next stop in American Stories: A Reading Road Trip.

Delaware, the second smallest state known as the "Small Wonder," has a literary history far larger than its borders suggest. From the wetlands of southern Delaware to its modern northern cities, writers across the state continue to shape today’s literary conversation.

It’s easy to see that books and beaches are two of Delaware’s greatest offerings, and the state embraces both. A thriving independent bookstore scene is matched by a strong library network, from Seaford to Hockessin, connecting authors and ideas to communities across the state. Delaware's literary landmarks extend beyond the shelves. The historic streets of New Castle, and taverns with whispered ties to Edgar Allan Poe, remind us that in this small state, history and storytelling are waiting around every corner.
