Caddie Woodlawn's Family

Just unpacked this to put in my new bookshelves and remembered again how much I loved these stories. One of the most memorable is Warren's remake of the Song of Hiawatha! (“Minne-haha' said the pine trees/'Muddy Oshkosh' said the water/Saw the firefly, wah-wah-wah-wah”) ...I have laughed aloud more than once for those. And when “Nero Plays Cupid” for seventeen-year-old sister Clara, and Caddie is amazed...and the fair where they enjoy good old-fashioned greased poles and log jumping contests...

This cover is so cute, and the ink drawings inside are just as dear. I wish books were still illustrated this way! My copy is a retired library book, but I love it anyway!
