Book Description
From the Publisher: The story of quintessential lake cottage life is told in this survey of early summer cottages built along the shore of Glen Lake located in north-west lower Michigan and renowned for its natural, pristine beauty. Over 50 Glen Lake historic cottages' interiors and exteriors are documented in 172 duotones and narratives that honor each cottage's lore and memories. As photographed by Dietrich Floeter, the black-and-white images reveal the essence and beauty of each cottage. The accompanying text by local historian Barbara Siepker provides historical background that incorporates personal anecdotes of the owners and early Glen Lake residents. These cozy summer lake cottages in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes are viewed against the backdrop of early summer tourism in the first half of the twentieth century in northern Michigan. Each cottage is shown in its glory and reveals its importance in the lives of its owners and the community. Paging through the book is like taking a walk back in time. Whether one's interest begins with a cottage's history, architecture, interior or family narrative, what will remain is the special sense of place and state of mind that only a lake cottage can evoke.

Book Description
The young maiden Leelinau is forbidden from going into the Spirit Wood. But Leelinau so enjoys her time spent there with the Pukwudjinees (the tiny fairies of the forest) that she risks playing with them time and time again. The legend explores the resistance many of us harbor of entering adulthood. This is the fifth title written by Kathy-jo Wargin and illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen in our Legend series which currently has 400,000 copies in print. The Legend of the Sleeping Bear, the title that began the series, is the official State of Michigan childrens's book. "Leelinau was so happy to be in the Spirit Wood once again that she began to dance all around. Then she sat down amidst a mess of large tree roots that fit like a chair made just for her. But this time, as she sat there to rest, she heard strange whispers. At first, Leelinau thought it sounded like baby robins trying to catch their first breaths, or ferns being tossed back and forth in the wind. But Leelinau wasn't quite sure, so she listened more carefully. She heard more whispers, and then voices. Leelinau became frightened. Her heart pounded like a large drum in her chest, and her throat felt tight and narrow."
