Résumé

"Tom Fairfield in Camp" by Allen Chapman is an engaging tale of adventure, mystery, and camaraderie. The story follows Tom Fairfield and his friends as they embark on a camping trip to Lake Woonset, located in the northern part of New York State. The narrative begins with Tom receiving a letter from his school chum, Jack Fitch, expressing a desire to join him for the summer. Along with their friend Bert Wilson and Tom's local friend, Dick Jones, the group plans an exciting camping expedition. The setting is enriched by the presence of a mysterious old mill rumored to contain hidden treasure and a wild hermit named Jason Wallace, who is believed to be guarding the secret. As the boys set up camp and explore the area, they encounter the hermit, who warns them to stay away from the lake, claiming it as his own. Despite the initial scare, the boys are undeterred and continue to enjoy their camping experience, which includes fishing, boating, and cooking meals over an open fire. The story is filled with humorous moments, such as Dick's unconventional cooking methods, and the boys' camaraderie is evident throughout. The narrative also introduces elements of suspense and intrigue, particularly with the presence of the hermit and the potential for discovering the mill's secret. The book captures the essence of youthful adventure and the thrill of exploring the unknown, making it an engaging read for those who enjoy tales of outdoor escapades and mysteries.
