Hello! Instead of reviewing a book today, I am going to start by giving some background on a series of books I will be reviewing soon. I purchased this series of books from eBay last year.
The Lake Shore Series by Oliver Optic was originally published in 1869.
Mantle Ministries re-published them in 1998.
Oliver Optic was a pen name for William Taylor Adams. He was born in 1822, and before writing he was a school teacher. He also published a magazine called "Oliver Optic's Magazine for Boys and Girls." Quoting from the "About the Author" section in his book "Through By Daylight" it says about his books:
"By the time of his death in 1897, at the age of 75, he had written more than 1,000 short stories and more than 115 novels, the majority of which portray youthful heroes and heroines of noble, self-sacrificing, courageous and moral character, challenged by adverse circumstances. Each adventure weaves the thread of Biblical principles throughout the stirring plots with inspirational design."
The Lake Shore Series contains six books. They are stories about a boy/young man named Wolf Penniman. In the series he is involved with trying to do some "peace making" between these two feuding towns. Filled with adventure and humor they are a great series for guys and girls. :-) If you aren't used to reading books from the 1800s the way the books are written may be a little hard to get used to, but definitely worth the effort!
