This is such a fun book! I have been reading this series to our daughters, and even though the series was written in the 1940's, I love how the stories still apply today! The stories don't really seem old fashioned, even though the characters travel by horse power. I think that it's amazing to have them written so long ago, about the author's youth and still have them seem so current today. Labels: Betsy-Tacy Series, Maud Hart Lovelace, Youth Fiction
