Garrison Keillor's fictional Midwestern town, Lake Wobegon, has long since passed into literary legend. Lake Wobegon Days, his first unforgettable portrait of life in the American small-town named after an Indian word meaning 'Here we are!' or 'We sat all day in the rain waiting for you', is a modern classic of warmth, humour and tenderness which introduces the reader to 'a cast of characters to rival Mark Twain' [Daily Mail].
