			        		&quot;Bruce Fogle is best known as the veterinarian author of numerous guides to cat and dog care... [Barefoot at the Lake] is a book full of quiet wisdom and also an inspiring account of how an adult vocation can grow from the formative experiences of childhood&quot;&#x2014;The Bookseller&quot;Bruce Fogle&apos;s sweet, beautifully-written memoir, Barefoot at the Lake, precisely catches the fleeting magic of both adolescence and Canadian summer. Reading it is like peering into a snapshot, taken long ago at a beloved cottage.&quot; &#x2014;David Macfarlane, author of Summer Gone&quot;As contemplative and unhurried as a long and lazy summer day, Barefoot at the Lake is a delightful return to an age of innocence, seen through the eyes of a soulful young boy. Dive into its world of frogs and minnows, campfire yarns and home-baked peach pies; you won&apos;t want to pull yourself away when sundown comes.&quot; &#x2014;Margaret Langrick, star of My American Cousin

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I want to go barefoot at that lake!
  

*by R***L on July 12, 2015*

Barefoot at the Lake is a gentle and tender book about the special connection the author had with his Uncle Reub, a doctor who spent one summer, in his white shirt with suspenders and a handkerchief on his head, at the author’s family cottage. Uncle Reub is fascinated by Lakota Sioux Indian stories and using those stories quietly educates his nephew about the natural world around them. I am a nature guide in California and am impressed at how well versed the author or his uncle (I don’t know which one) is in nature lore.  Fogle writes with deep affection for the lake and the country. This is a beautiful book and makes me wonder what he feels now when he revisits his family cottage. I particularly liked the sense of wonder at nature, and the unfolding of the relationship with his uncle.
