The area where Summer Street is, is actually down the road from where I currently live (in Surrey) and is actually called Friday Street. When I was in college our tutor took us out with the book and made us read it where it was actually set. This made us more interested in the book and I can now happily say that this is one of my favourites. However, to see his real skill at writing I would look to his short stories as well. Particularly The Machine Stops.

'Sunshine sketches of a little town' By Stephan Leacock is based on a town that i lived in for a good two years.

that is pretty interesting. I suppose it changed the feeling of the woods near your home. It would make me nervouse to travel through them during the evening, lol.
