Tamawaca Folks: A Summer Comedy by L. Frank Baum
"Tamawaca Folks: A Summer Comedy" by L. Frank Baum is a work of fiction likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Jarrod, a weary lawyer who escapes from his tumultuous career by taking his family to the idyllic summer resort of Tamawaca. As they settle into their new surroundings, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including a scheming partner in the resort's operations, an ambitious young man, andvarious fellow vacationers who all contribute to the unfolding comedy of errors and misadventures. At the start of the narrative, Jarrod's life as a lawyer for the notorious Crosby family comes to a close when he manages to extricate himself from their chaotic affairs. Seeking relaxation, he travels with his wife and children to Tamawaca, a beautiful locale by Lake Michigan, planning to rent a cottage. However, he soon realizes the local atmosphere is both charming and rife with intrigue, as he gets entangled with characters like Wilder, the witty and opportunistic owner of many local establishments, and other guests who each have their own ambitions and quirks. As the story unfolds, it seems that Jarrod's desire for a peaceful summer vacation may lead to unexpected challenges and an opportunity for personal growth amid the comedy of life at Tamawaca.
