“Book Descriptions: Letters from Lake Joe is a charming account of summers spent on Lake Joseph, Muskoka, during the first decade of the 20th century. At that time, going to an island cottage meant a long and arduous journey by train and steamboat. Island life was often rustic, but eminently leisurely and peaceful. Drawn from letters in The Violet Trilogy, these fictional letters chronicle the day-to-day happenings and hazards, the boats and the bugs, of a gentler, quieter Muskoka. Letters from Lake Joe offers a delightful visit to a bygone era when cottaging on an island was not for the faint of heart. The book also includes Muskoka Suite, a small collection of mid-century Muskoka memories.” DRIVE
