eponymous-ey sentence:
p5: "Why, any of the Lake Michigan resorts are desirable--Tamawaca, Bay View, Charlevoix or Petoskey...."
le mot juste:
p13: So Jarrod, leaving his family to be entertained by Mrs. Wilder, who seemed an eminently fitting spouse for her cheery husband, followed this modern Poo-Bah along a broad cement walk that led past the hotel and through a shady grove.
p61: Miles of cement walks were laid through the woods, and a broad thoroughfare now extends the length of the lake front, where once it was dangerous to travel on foot.
Preposterous.

My eighteenth Baum book and this one never really grabbed me, an average read and not one that will go in my favourite Baum yarns, not even the top well fifteen so far!

Written by L. Frank Baum of Oz fame under the pseudonym John Estes Cooke. This charming little book is a fictionalized account of the goings on in Macatawa Park, Michigan, where Baum spent many of his summers. It's an unsubstantial but easy going read, Baum is clearly writing just for the fun of it and to please his friends for whom he had it privately.
