"Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer could have written this warm report if they'd just moved up the river to the grass-grown Minnesota village of Old Frontenac and learned to type" (description on the cover of 'Growing with the Grass')
I've been to Old Frontenac a couple of times now and it's a really lovely place, still small and with a lot of beautiful old houses, so it was fun to read about in the context of childhood reminiscences that took place nearly a century ago.
