Back to the Cabin written and illustrated by Ann Blades

Jack and Angus don't want to go to the cabin for the summer. There's no TV, no video games ... there's nothing to do!

But of course a cabin on the lake is the perfect place to swim, fish, build forts and explore. And the days are so full, there's no time to miss TV or video games. In fact when the summer is over, Jack and Angus don't want to go back to the city. At home there's no lake, no boat, no fort ... there's nothing to do!

Ann Blades' own cabin-in-the-woods prompted this very personal story about life's simpler pleasures. Since 1971, she has delighted children with her unique illustrations and stories of Canadian life and has earned her spot as one of the country's best-known and beloved children's book illustrators. She has also gained a host of nominations and awards, including the Canada Council Children's Literature Award for Illustration for A Salmon for Simon and the Elizabeth Mrazik-Cleaver Canadian Picture Book Award for By the Sea: An Alphabet Book. In 1987, Ann's work was recognized internationally when she was nominated for the Hans Christian Anderson Award for Illustration.

Ann Blades lives in Surrey, BC.
