Got a client looking for novels set in north central Ohio-Lake Erie islands
area, including Kelley's Island and Put-In-Bay. Any ideas?

If I remember correctly, part of Bob Greene's novel,
Be True to Your School, takes place in north central
Ohio when he vacations there in high school.

Hello,

I think A Simple Plan by Scott B. Smith was set in that part of Ohio. And
Sherwood Anderson's fictional town of Winesburg, Ohio is based on the town of
Clyde in the north central part of the state. These are both "mainland"
novels, though and may be all wrong for the Lake Erie islands aspect; I
included them because you mentioned Sandusky and Port Clinton in the subject
line.

Murphy's Island by Colleen O. MeKenna. The Murphy's spend a year on the
Island (Put-in-Bay/South Bass Island) while lawyer dad works. Author
has/had a summer home there. It is a children's book and a good read.
Also the librarian in the story, Muriel, is/was the real librarian for the
branch public library on the Island.

Also Dee Brown's Conspiracy of Knaves includes brief stuff about civil war
prison and spies and the LAke Erie Islands and/or Johnson's Island in
Sandusky Bay.

Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio is based on
Camden, way down here in Preble County, in
southwestern Ohio!
We are quite proud of that, so don't try to take it
away!

Suzanne -

I've always understood that Winesburg was based on
Clyde, Ohio. Websites including classicnote.com say
that Anderson spent his childhood and adolescence in
Clyde, and that's the setting of the book. Clyde used
to have a restaurant, the Winesburg Inn, named after
the book.

Lesa- Encarta says that Anderson was born in Camden,
Ohio. He fought in Cuba, and then lived in Chicago.
Try http://underthesun.cc/classics/Anderson
Our library in Camden has quite a collection of
Anderson stuff, and the Welcome signs on the town
mention him specifically. Where is Clyde?
Camden doesn't have a Winesburg restaurant, so maybe
you are right? However, Camden sure thinks Anderson
was born there!

Clyde is a small town (blink and you might miss it) near
Wooster and Ashland in Northeast/North Central Ohio.

Clyde, Ohio is halfway between Bellevue and Fremont on
Route 20 in northwestern Ohio. Camden may have been
Sherwood Anderson's birthplace, but Clyde was his home
during childhood and adolesence. My parents are from
that area, my husband used to work in Clyde, and the
Winesburg Inn is named that because Sherwood Anderson
based the book on Clyde, according to everything I've
ever read, and everything they've ever heard. I
called my mother and checked with her before writing
again.

Lesa-Thanks for the information--I'll have to pass it
on to our Camden librarian.
I think we can share, right?

I've always understood that Andersen based his book on Clyde, Ohio. I was
raised a short distance from there in Fremont. Clyde is in northwestern
Ohio about 45 minutes from Toledo, if that helps.
