This week's letter for A-Z Wednesday is "B." So I went to my shelves, and this is what I pulled out.

Betsy-Tacy, by Maud Hart Lovelace (first published 1940)

1. Book Details at Wikipedia. You can read my review here.

2. Description from GoodReads:
Betsy and Tacy were two little five-year-olds, such inseparable friends that they were regarded almost as one. These stories of their friendship present a very real picture of young children living in the early 1900's. Each book features amusing illustrations by award-winning author/illustrator Lois Lenski.
3. And a photo of the recent hard cover edition:

  1. I remember these girls. I need to reread. I didn't read the whole series. Really, I can't remember details. Thanks.

  2. Wow! I've never read these books, either. They must have come out after I grew up...or maybe I am just oblivious.

    I remember reading a few authors (back in the day) that I never see nowadays. And then I read all those student nurse books...I can't even remember the nurse's name!

    Thanks for visiting my blog.

  11. I never read these as a child, but I recently read Heaven to Betsy and am now reading Betsy in Spite of Herself. They are simply wonderful stories, for children of all ages!

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
