This charming little novel, “Here at the Scenic-Vu Motel” by Thelma Hatch Wyss, offers a delightful glimpse into the world of mid-20th century Americana. Published in 1971, it captures the essence of the golden age of the American road trip, when motels dotted the highways and byways of the nation. Wyss, a celebrated author of children’s literature, brings her keen eye for detail and warm humor to this tale set in a quintessential roadside motel.
The book’s enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport readers to a simpler time, when family vacations meant piling into the station wagon and hitting the open road. Wyss deftly weaves together the quirky characters and everyday dramas that unfold at the Scenic-Vu Motel, creating a charming tapestry of Americana. Despite its well-loved state, with a taped spine and some wear on the cover, this copy retains the spirit of the era, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a nostalgic journey through a bygone era of American travel and hospitality.
