The Timeless Classics

With a Foreword by Melissa Wiley

This beautiful edition brings together two of Maud Hart Lovelace's beloved Deep Valley books: Carney's House Party and Winona's Pony Cart--standalone stories about two of the favorite characters from the Betsy-Tacy series, and features a foreword by author Melissa Wiley and a biography of illustrator Vera Neville.

Carney is one of my favorite characters in Betsy's high school Crowd, and if ever a character deserved her own book, it is Caroline Sibley, that warmhearted, capable, mirthful intellighen girl whose home is the setting of so many lively Deep Valley adventures.--Melissa Wiley

Winona adds a dash of spice to every scene she inhabits.--Melissa Wiley

There are three authors whose body of work I have reread more than once over my adult life: Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Maud Hart Lovelace.--Anna Quindlen

I reread these books every year.--Laura Lippman
