CONWAY — The 2025 Authors at the Pope Series, the collaboration between White Birch Books and the Pope Memorial Library, continues with Mel Allen, the former editor of Yankee Magazine, and his new book, “Here In New England: Unforgettable Stories of People, Places, and Memories that Connect Us All.” Allen will be at the Pope Memorial Library on Friday at 6 p.m.

From the time he published his first story in Yankee in 1979 to the day he retired as its editor in 2025, Allen’s writing has captured the unique essence of New England and the people who call it home. In “Here in New England,” Allen has collected 45 of his favorite pieces, adding intimate new introductions and postscripts to put them in context. The feel and flavor of New England lives within the covers of this engaging collection.
