Dandelion Cottage
Dandelion Cottage | Carroll Watson Rankin
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
Liked Louisa May Alcott's Little Women? You'll love Dandelion Cottage from Michigan author Carroll Watson Rankin. In this charming tale, four girls play an extended and elaborate game of 'house' in an abandoned cottage. Before long, the close bonds they form begin to spill over into real life -- with surprising and serendipitous results.

If not because of #TBRtarot I would not have chanced upon this book or author. A well-written, delightful story of four girls who turned a run-down cottage into their summer play house. I enjoyed the nice humour, and the way the girls are portrayed..reminds us of the simple joys of growing up. Published in 1904, it‘s old fashioned but sweet.

? So many—Emily of New Moon, Betsy-Tacy, Dandelion Cottage, Harriet the Spy, The Little White Horse, the Little House series, Eight Cousins, A Girl of the Limberlost ...
?I think most of my vocabulary has come from reading. ?
?I read everywhere, any time I have a spare moment.
?To paraphrase Jack describing Rose in "Titanic," I'm an indoor girl. (Though I do enjoy reading and dining outdoors.).

#Memoriesremain of my mom introducing me to this #1stinseries book as a little girl. I checked it out of the library over and over, until @BookieMary found me my very own copy, plus the rest of this lovely matching set. 😊 #90sInJuly #sizzlinsummerbooks #multitasking
