Muskoka, Ontario Canada is a land of lakes, forests and cottages. Cottage life in the traditional Muskoka cottage is the theme of this book. If you have owned or visited a cottage or cabin, this will remind you of your experiences. If you have wondered why people love cottage life, Grant D Fairley will explain why through his stories and tales of cottage life in Port Sydney and Mary Lake near Huntsville in the Muskoka District. Funny and warm, these stories will take you back to a gentler time of cottage life where memories were made and stories experienced that have lasted for generations. Also included is a section on the history of James A Cowan, founder of the family cottage, public relations pioneer, writer and person of influence in the 20th Century.
