Author Phyllis Root and Grand Marais illustrator Betsy Bowen will read from and sign copies of their new children’s picture book The Lost Forest—5:00 p.m., Saturday, April 27, 2019, Drury Lane Books (12 Wisconsin St. E., Grand Marais, MN 55604).
About the book:
In 1882 when surveyors set out to map a part of Minnesota, they got confused, or tired and cold (it was November), and somehow mapped a great swath of ancient trees as a lake. For more than seventy-five years, the mistake stayed on the map, and the forest remained safe from logging. The Lost Forest tells the story of this lucky error and of the 144 acres of old-growth red and white pine it preserved.
