The Lake Lure Chronicles is a collection of stories, written for children of all ages, focusing on the Magic Lake and the creatures that live in and near it. These stories are the creative work of David Klett and watercolor artist Carole Lang . Story length and reading level are on a par with The Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Grahame and The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams, making them suitable for young readers grades four and up, or as read-to books for younger children.

Lake Lure is a real-life, magical body of water nestled in the bottom of Hickory Nut Gorge in western North Carolina. National Geographic has called Lake Lure one of the ten most beautiful man-made lakes in the world. The natural beauty and breathtaking views of the Hickory Nut Gorge area make it a popular vacation destination for people from across the country and around the world. These attributes have also made the area the natural choice of movie makers for such hits as Dirty Dancing, The Last of the Mohicans, and the lesser known A Breed Apart, starring Kathleen Turner.
