The Betsy-Tacy Treasury: The First Four Betsy-Tacy Books

"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, are ready to delight a new generation with these wholesome books for girls--and to bring a grownup generation of readers back to the engrossing stories of their youth. Following the unforgettable childhood friendship 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.
