Margaret Lake's short story collection, "A Walk in the Woods," feels just like that-- a refreshing excursion to recharge your energies and lift your spirits. Ranging from fairy tales to modern tales, the book delivers characters who find their personal courage. Lake writes with a nimble touch and creates quick sketches of other places and other times. Writing short stories is a true craft. Digital publishing is offering new life to an endangered art form. Kindles and other e-reading devices are providing the means to grab a quick story at lunch or on a train commute. "A Walk in the Woods" is the ideal sort of entertainment for anyone who wants an uplifting mental getaway.
