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
"P.S. insights, interviews & more"--Cover.
Originally published separately in 1949 and 1953.
Carney's house party -- Winona's pony cart.
Carney's house party: In the summer of 1911, Carney looks forward to hosting a month-long house party at her Deep Valley home with not only her Vassar college roommate as a guest but all the old crowd, especially her high school sweetheart who moved to California four years before.
Winona's pony cart: Almost-eight-year-old Winona, living in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Minnesota, knows she has a special red dress and lots of friends for her birthday party, but she wonders if she will really get the pony that she is longing for.
