Betsy-Tacy

Betsy hopes that whoever moves into the house across the street will have a little girl just her age. And a little girl who moves in is just her age. Her name is Tacy. She is very bashful, but she likes to listen to Betsy's stories -- wonderful stories that the girls love, and that they keep as their own special secret. After a while, it's hard to remember a time when Betsy and Tacy weren't best friends. "I read every one of these Betsy-Tacy books twice. I loved them as a child, as a young adult, and now, reading them with my daughter, as a mother. What a wonderful world it was!" -- Bette Milder, actor and singer Maud Hart Lovelace was born in Mankato, Minnesota and based the Betsy-Tacy books on her own childhood. She once wrote, "I lived the happiest childhood a child could possibly know," and it is this joy that comes through in her books.
