Introducing Miss Delilah Pagewell™ and the Stories of Crooked Lake — a new children’s series inspired by life around Keuka Lake, yesterday and today.
From her porch overlooking Crooked Lake, Miss Delilah has a basket filled with ribbons—and every ribbon holds a story waiting to be told.
These imaginative tales introduce young readers to the people, places, adventures, traditions, and history that make our little corner of the Finger Lakes so special. Some stories wander into Keuka’s past. Others celebrate the lake we know today. And while Miss Delilah and her adventures are created from imagination, they are often rooted in real local history.
At the end of each story, parents, grandparents, teachers, and curious young readers will find a special Parent & Grown-Up Guide with historical facts, local connections, and ideas for learning a little more about the true story behind the tale.
Because sometimes the best way to help children fall in love with history is simply to tell them a really good story first.
