Book Reviews of Place In The Woods (Fesler-Lampert Minnesota Heritage)
Book Review: A real "get away" book
Summary: 5 Stars
In the mid-1950's Helen and Adrian Hoover left their professional life in Chicago behind and bought some land and a log cabin in the Minnesota wilderness on the banks of Lake Superior.
"A Place in the Woods" was Helen's description of their struggles, disasters, challenges and triumphs as the couple created a new way of life among the numerous animals and much less numerous people living miles away.
Helen's writing style was easy, natural and sometimes lyrical. You can tell she loved the outdoors, the animals she came into contact with, and her new lifestyle. Her observations on her animal friends was my favorite part of the book, and her stories about the mama mouse, little bear and the squirrels and "chippies" were funny and cute without being cloying.
This was a nice, quick read, and definitely satisfied my inner hermit. I'm glad to see that Hoover wrote 3 additional books. I will be crecking them out as well.
