Tamawaca Folks: A Summer Comedy is a 1907 novel by L. Frank Baum, published privately under the pseudonym John Estes Cooke. The novel is an autobiographical account of the summer community at Macatawa Park, Michigan. Baum acquired a summer house in the Michigan resort town in 1900, with the proceeds from his first literary hit, Father Goose. Baum nicknamed the house "the Sign of the Goose" in honor of the book, and decorated the place with goose motifs. The novel also has a romantic subplot, in which a young man finds his way to personal happiness.
