An elderly brother and sister still reside in one of the houses and happily tell the children the story of the former resort on what they now call Gone-Away Lake. The best part - they discover an old summer resort, long abandoned after the lake area turned into a swamp. The trip is exciting and the kids have all sorts of adventures. Their parents are going to Europe for an extended stay, so they get to travel alone by train for their annual visit with their cousin, Julian.
Portia is 11 and her little brother Foster is 6. Narrated by Colleen Delany, the audio is just over 5.5 hours long.a good listening length for kids and adults! I enjoyed this story on my commute to work. Apparently it was out of print for awhile, but has been re-released. Gone Away Lake was first published in 1957.
I'm not sure how I missed this sweet children's adventure story, but I'm glad I happened across it by chance on my library's digital site! This is such a fun story!
