Betsy and the Great World/Betsy’s Wedding

“Some characters become your friends for life. That’s how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.”–Judy Blume With a Foreword by Anna Quindlen The final two books in Maud Hart Lovelace’s beloved Betsy-Tacy series: Betsy and the Great World and Betsy’s Wedding, in one volume featuring the original cover illustration from Betsy and the Great World, along with a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Anna Quindlen. “There are three authors whose body of work I have re-read more than once over my adult life: Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Maud Hart Lovelace.” –Anna Quindlen “Slipping into a Betsy book is like slipping into a favorite pair of well-worn slippers: It’s always a pleasure to live in Betsy’s world for a little while, to experience her simple joys, but also her (thankfully short-lived) sorrows.” –Meg Cabot “I re-read these books every year, marveling at how a world so quaint – Shirtwaists! Pompadours! Merry Widow hats! – can feature a heroine who is undeniably modern.” –Laura Lippman
