It’s like we went to the same
library as kids. Betsy & Tacy, Ramona, Shoe Books: check, check, check. We went every Saturday, except for vacations. For those my siblings and I each maxed out the 50-book limit imposed by our parents. Wonderful librarians never batted an eye.

Love, love, love your books. Am highly invested in the characters & greatly appreciate the scholarship that went into creating a rich sense of time & place. Met a fellow tourist a few weeks ago who was en route to York. Sent her to buy book 1 of Lucie and Owen. Thank you for doing what you do.
