Cully Gage is the psuedonym of renowned speech pathologist Dr. Charles Gage Van Riper (1905 – 1994). "Relive the early days through the Northwoods Readers. They portray people--real people! ! They live and walk these pages, speak and act as real people speak and act....Cully 'captured' people, suspended them in time and space and committed them to paper..." For a look at the UP [Upper Peninsula of Michigan] and northern Michigan, these are great books. Those parts of the state can be quite different from the big cities of Metro Detroit, here they are captured with love, affection and charm by Gage.. Fine .
