Lovelovelove the Betsy books, they're my secret indulgence but not so secret because look how ahead of the times Betsy was. She switches religions. She goes off to Europe (mostly) by herself. Her husband insists on a cleaning lady so she'll have more writing time. And I keep meaning to go down to Mankato to see the Maud Hart Lovelace museum but I'm lazy even though it's just over an hour away.
