BETSY and TACY by Maude Hart Lovelace



BETSY and TACY by Maude Hart Lovelace (Hardback w/Dustjacket) $11.95 SOLD!




These books are the same books, but look at the difference!

Look at the nice old-fashioned Lois Lenski cover, then look at the ug-u-ly 60th anniversery addition and compare. I like the top one. There are even worse copys of some of this series, like the Diane Goode cover for Betsy's junior and senior years, they don't suit the books at all.

Which of these two would you rather have???????????????????

HALF MAGIC by Edward Eager




HALF MAGIC by Edward Eager (New HB) $14.95

Four children, Jane, the oldest, Mark, the only boy, Katherine, the middle child, and Martha, the youngest and quite difficult, were walking home from the Library, when Jane sees a nickel, or so she thinks. The nickel turns out to be a magic talisman that works by halves (e.g. I wish i were twice as far as home, then you go home). but when the children's mother borrows a nickel, and wishes she were home, she only gets half way home luckily a little man with a little beard driving an automobile comes along and drives her home, but at the end of the book that drive becomes a lot more than a way to get home.
