Bon Echo: The Denison Years

Bon Echo: The Denison Years documents the era when famous artists, intellectuals and theatrical personalities visited the strikingly beautiful Lake Mazinaw area in Ontario x2019;s rugged Land O x2019; Lakes district, to both play and work. From the construction of Bon Echo Inn by American Dr. Weston Price to the creation of today x2019;s Bon Echo Provincial Park, the author has been privy to the "inside" story.

The struggles and ideals of the early Toronto feminist Flora MacDonald Denison and her author-playwright son, Merrill, are well recorded in this important book. The author, a good storyteller, obviously learned plenty from the old master during her many years as his manuscript typist, a relationship that ended with Merrill Denison x2019;s death in 1975.
