Yes, it was our lake, not just the lake."<br /><br />In this classic story of a midwestern boyhood, Curtiss Anderson takes readers into the colorful lives of his robust Norwegian family and their wonderfully familiar summerscape in northern Minnesota: the lake place. Sweet childhood reminiscences comprise this coming-of-age memoir set in the poignant summers of the 1930s and '40s. Conversations on the porch with Dear Old Aunt Ingaborg, a heavily accented relative from the Old Country. A budding romance and heartbreak with young Sarah, who lived across the lake. Wild blueberry picking behind Turnaround Island. Joyful tales devoted to the cherished dogs he had outlived--old Shep and Mickey, Nebby, and feisty Bunny. And fond memories of Clara and Leigh, the loving couple who treated the budding writer as if he was their own child.<br /><br />Anderson revisits the notes and letters he scripted as a boy, originally recorded on his hand-me-down Underwood typewriter--his first foray into what would become a distinguished publishing career--to offer <em>Blueberry Summers</em>. Here, the nationally recognized editor offers a funny and warm story of experiences that inspire the imagination.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Curtiss Anderson was a writer and editorial consultant.
