If you have kids or still enjoy kids' books, the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books at least should be easy to find - they're great fun. But I hope you can find these four as well.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-60636560459898762012012-09-17T18:40:43.835-05:002012-09-17T18:40:43.835-05:00I've never even heard of her and don't kno...I've never even heard of her and don't know how easy it'll be to track down any of her books, but they sound fascinating, so she's going on my list.

I loved the Piggle Wiggle books and did not know about her other work. Books by women about the American West keep stacking up in my TBR pile, Dorothy M. Johnson's stories, for example ("The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"). Thinking I might make this reading a priority next year.Fayhttp://www.readramble.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.com
