"Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for
me with Betsy-Tacy." --Judy Blume
The First Four Books in the Betsy-Tacy Series in One Volume
With Forewords by Judy Blume, Ann M. Martin and Johanna Hurwitz
The first four books in the beloved Betsy-Tacy series, together in one
volume, ready to delight a new generation of readers--and to bring a
grownup generation of readers back to the engrossing stories of their
youth. Following the childhoods of Betsy Ray and her friends in the late
1800s and early 1900s, this handsome anthology collects the original
Betsy-Tacy as well as Betsy, Tacy and Tib, Betsy and Tacy Go Over
the Big Hill, and Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown. Forewords by Judy
Blume, Esther Hautzig, and Johanna Hurwitz, and the original
illustrations by Lois Lenski, will make readers of all ages feel at home
in the imaginative life of young Betsy Ray as she awakens to the
challenges and triumphs of her home in Deep Valley (Mankato), Minnesota.
