Encyclopedia > Lake Wobegon Days

Lake Wobegon Days, written by Garrison Keillor is a humorous, fictional account of life in small-town Minnesota. Set in the (fictitious) quintessential heartland town of Lake Wobegon, Minnesota (motto: "Where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average!"), Lake Wobegon Days chronicles the mundane goings-on in its Lutheran-dominated namesake.

Lake Wobegon-2 (3202 words)
Lake Wobegon is the fictional place created by Garrison Keillor during his public radio broadcasts on "A Prairie Home Companion." Keillor's humorous stories have become immensely popular with millions of fans who love to read and hear about the small town in Minnesota where he supposedly grew up.
Besides the dissimilarities of its geographical placement, Lake Wobegon is devoid of the intense battles seen in the Bunker household.
The people in Lake Wobegon cling to the values of their ancestors, old-fashioned values that are familiar to Keillor's audiences because they are part of their own roots.
