(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kimberly Bulcken Root. A distinctive new edition of an old favorite, in which a neurotic, sickly little girl grows healthy and happy with the help of Vermont farm living, no-nonsense child-rearing techniques, and Montessori-based schooling. Root's pencil sketches add intimacy and life, and the book design is generous and appropriately old-fashioned. With an introduction to the novel and an afterword on Dorothy Canfield Fisher by Eden Ross Lipson.
