Jane's Country Year: The Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld Collection | Malcolm Saville

Oh @LeahBergen what a wonderful parcel! Well worth the wait! 😉 Thank you so much! Thrilled with the books! (So pleased to have a Handheld Books edition as I eyed them for years but never purchased one!) Love the card, the post card, the bookmark, the whole kit'n'caboodle. ☺️ And curious if you would recommend visiting Mankato?

Crinoline_Laphroaig I loved visiting Mankato a few years ago! 3d

rubyslippersreads I‘ve visited Mankato a couple of times. You can tour Betsy‘s and Tacy‘s houses, and sit on the Friendship Bench. It‘s a pilgrimage for #BetsyTacy fans. 3d

LeahBergen Yay, it arrived!! I really enjoyed my visit to Mankato and seeing all the little spots from the books. And just what @rubyslippersreads said … the house tours were so fun! 3d

Cathythoughts Lovely 🥰 2d

MaureenMc There‘s a Betsy-Tacy Convention in Mankato this year, in October. My daughter & I are hoping to attend! 2d

Goodbye Mog | Judith Kerr

pick

I‘ve always loved the stories of Mog and her adventures. This book marks the end of them. After she dies, she quickly realizes the family can‘t see her anymore, though she is with them. When they bring home a new kitten, she is delighted to know that it can see her! They play together and Mog lives on…in another way.

Jul i Stora Skogen | Ulf Stark, Eva Eriksson

pick

A children‘s Christmas book with 25 chapters so could probably be used as an advent calendar as well.

A pixie looses his hat and mittens in some bad weather and where to the wind take them but to the rabbits. The rabbits suddenly starts hearing about a pixie coming for Christmas and start preparing.

The illustrations were amazing and I particularly loved all the ones with rabbits in them.

TheBookHippie This looks lovely! 3w
