I understand, I totally do understand, why Amelia Bedelia is endearing to young readers across multiple generations. I find her endearing! I think the books are funny, and she’s a […]
I’m really feeling the ‘shabby chic’ look—in small doses, and with a greater emphasis on the chic than the shabby. (Why do I keep spelling this shappy?) Mainly in the […]
I’ve always loved Jane Austen. There’s something about reading her novels that makes me feel so absolutely and totally immersed in her late 18th Century reality. I know this is a […]
