Stonington -- The Stonington Historical Society will offer an encore tour of its literary walk through the borough on Saturday at 1 p.m.

The tour will be led by residents and journalists James Boylan and Betsy Wade, who will show where poets, nonfiction writers, Pulitzer winners and best-selling authors lived.

A focus of the tour is the Main Street apartment of late poet James Merrill, which now serves as a retreat for young poets.

Other writers who are part of tour are late “Jaws” author Peter Benchley, who lived on nearby Elihu Island and then Main Street; Anthony Bailey who penned “In the Village”; Grace Zaring Stone, also known by her pen name, Ethel Vance, and her daughter Eleanor Perényi, poets Stephen Vincent Benet and Rosemary Carr Benet and Mary McCarthy who wrote “The Group,” a barely fictionalized account of her Vassar classmates’ sex lives, and the novel “Birds of America,” whose opening section involves a place that resembles the borough and its residents.
