Dandelion Cottage | Carroll Watson Rankin

pick

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
