When I had finished reading Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink, I took it back to the shelf in our fantastical library. And there I found another book by Carol! Wow! It's a VERY OLD book, yes, older than me! Written in 1937 - and I believe the book Alan and Beth have in the library is probably one of the earliest printings. The cover looks NOTHING like the picture above! And it definitely is not paperback! It's a cute story of two girls who are shipwrecked with four young charges - completely unrealistic, but cute nonetheless! So old fashioned! So proper!! It was a fun read!
