More classic girls' novels


Cauthrien here.  Anora and I are still working through the backlog of books to document for the library.  (Yes, we are still behind.  There's at least another 30 completed books we haven't documented, and I see the stacks of papers for even more.  We will still be behind for a few months...)


The human has always been partial to classic girls' novels, including some slightly more obscure ones, perhaps because we already own the most popular ones?  The latest batch of novels includes "Daddy-long-legs" and "Dear Enemy" (Jean Webster), "Pollyanna" and "Pollyanna Grows Up" (Eleanor Porter), "Heidi", "Understood Betsy" (Dorothy Canfield), "The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew", and finally, "Alice In Wonderland" (Lewis Caroll).

Of these, I think the favorites among us are "Understood Betsy", "Daddy-long-legs", and "Dear Enemy".  As always, everything has real text and images inside.  Why have blank books?

  2. Love! I really need to get on learning how to craft books. You do such a great job! And there's so many I'd love to make for my dolls. Again, these are lovely!
