Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert LaVoie is a writer based in Northern New York--the true Northern New York, north of the Adirondacks. He fell in love with the North Country after being brought to Lake Placid on a family vacation in 1964. He became a Social Studies teacher at St. Regis Falls Central School in 1989. He is now retired and lives in West Stockholm, New York. About AN ADIRONDACK CHRISTMAS: This charming story follows the somewhat whimsical adventures of a retiree as he takes up residence in a Northern New York cabin, only to find his "peace and quiet" disturbed in unexpected and quite wonderful ways. His strategy for retreating from humanity ironically brings him a wealth of human contact and love--in addition to the cherished companionship of a stray dog he acquires (or who acquires him). Beautiful watercolor illustrations are provided by Melody Potter, capturing the spirit of the Adirondacks and the heart of the story. This is a book you will read more than once, and recommend to your friends. If you have traveled in Northern New York, AN ADIRONDACK CHRISTMAS will bring you back to that gorgeous scenery, interesting people, and surprises around each corner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holiday Tales: Christmas in the Adirondacks A cabin. A cabin in the woods. In the cabin a. Great fire place piled high with logs, fiercely ablaze. On either side of the broad hearthstone a hound sat on his haunches, looking gravely, as only a hound in a meditative mood can, into the glowing fire. In the center of the cabin, whose every nook and corner was bright with the ruddy firelight, stood a wooden table, strongly built and solid. At the table sat John Norton, poring over a book, - a book large of size, with wooden covers bound in leather, brown with age, and smooth as with the handling of many generations. The whitened head of the old man was bowed over the broad page, on which one hand rested, with the forefinger marking the sentence. A cabin in the woods filled with firelight, a table, a book, an old man studying the book. This was the scene on Christmas Eve. Outside, the earth was white with snow, and in the blue sky above the snow was the white moon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A winter wedding in the Adirondack Mountains, how romantic! Until a blizzard descends, dumping more than seven feet of snow, marooning Ellen and Vic in their remote Adirondack camp. Snowbound with a man who is a twelve on a scale of one to ten? Every woman's dream except, there's no water, electricity and scant food supplies. To make matters worse, mysterious tracks appear in the snow, ghostly apparitions wearing ski hats haunt the woods and guests arrive, uninvited, on dog sled. Throw in a speakeasy from the 1920s and the recipe is perfect for a batch of Christmas mayhem that only klutz-Ellen can whip up. The weather outside is frightful but Ellen and her friends, Twinkie and Adele, spin the perfect Christmas tale of holiday cheer, sleigh rides, ice skating, snow angels and of course, Santa too. Join Ellen and Vic as they sort and dig out the Christmas havoc Santa delivered this year in the fourth book of the Audacity Series. It's that most wonderful time of the year to settle in next to the fire and read, Audacity of an Adirondack Christmas, the perfect pairing with a cup of eggnog under the mistletoe. Merry Christmas, fa, la, la, la, la!

Download or read book A Franklin Manor Christmas written by Paul Willcott and published by Paul Willcott. This book was released on 2008 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most potential buyers, Franklin Manor was just a run-down old house, half-buried in Adirondack snow. But to professor Butch Regent, Franklin Manor was a beacon of hope. He would buy it, renovate it, and turn it into an artists retreat. Franklin Manor would make his gray and unsatisfactory life bright and meaningful, but not without a life-and-death struggle. Nuns, tuberculosis patients, and other former residents make a Christmas return from the dead to save the house and the old man from destruction. It's a Christmas story of despair versus hope.
