The Adventures of Henry Lee Turtle

Henry Lee Turtle is like any kid his age – naïve, curious, and fun-loving. He is the youngest of a family of six, two minutes younger than his twin brother and has two sisters, and doting parents who love him dearly.

He is remarkably close to his Uncle Sam Turtle. Henry Lee’s brother and sisters love him, but they always have him running errands for them simply because he is the youngest in the family.

Henry Lee and his family live on Lake Christopher, which is a fun place to live. Lake Christopher is located just outside the town of Lyda Falls, which is thirty miles from the City of Charlestown. The City of Charlestown is located near the heart of a beautiful forest. There are rustic homes, small businesses, and vibrant farmlands adorning the lake. Charlestown is well known and often visited for its’ majestic old paper mill, fishing, dining, water sports, and Kitten and Lucille’s restaurant. The mill has a large wooden waterwheel attached to it and sits high on a hill off Lake Christopher.
