The beckoning fingers are those of ten lakes, those long and slender strips of blue in the middle of the New York State map. This is Arch Merrill's tenth regional book. His second, "The Lakes Country" covered the Finger Lakes in the Rochester area, Seneca, Keuka and Canandaigua and their four smaller upland sisters, Conesus, Hemlock, Canadice and Honeoye. "Slim Fingers Beckon" is the first to cover the entire Finger Lakes country with added chapters on the eastern Finger Lakes, Skaneateles, Owasco and Cayuga, all rich in scenic beauty, history and lore.
Arch Merrill believes that lakes and cities and villages have distinct personalities just as people do. In this book, he has caught the spirit of the lakes and the communities upon their shores.
