![]() Rereading Betsy-Tacy, I was struck by the history contained in the thin volume. Whether going to school for the first time or riding a feather above their homes, the girls discover the world. From everyday life to extraordinary fantasy, the duo is inseparable. Set in Deep Valley, Minnesota (Mankato, Minnesota, the author's town) in 1898, the girls' adventures abound. The original works were illustrated brilliantly by Lois Lenski.Īt the start, we meet five-year-old Betsy and her new friend, Tacy. In 1940 Maud Hart Lovelace published her first novel Betsy-Tacy of the future series. When Nancy informed us that the Betsy-Tacy series was going out of print, you should have heard the divas groan! I'm sad to say, we have our first OOPS! entry. ![]() If we all rant and copy and repost the blogs as we are able, maybe we'll tug the ears of the publishers. We will make it our aim at readergirlz to draw your attention to books that are sadly going out of print (OOP). ![]() ![]() Thank you to reviewer, blogger, and all-around book brainiac Little Willow for alerting me to this issue and getting me the permission to repost this piece from Lorie Ann Grover (I wanted to the same thing with Little Willow’s name that she did with Lori Anne’s-you know, where you click on it and it links to her website? But I am an idiot, and I don’t know how.)Īnyway, as a huge Betsy-Tacy fan, I had to spread the word: ![]()
