The Betsy-Tacy Treasury: The First Four Betsy-Tacy Books for Children

"Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy," Judy Blume once said. The beloved Betsy-Tacy series, now collected in one volume, is ready to delight a new generation of readers and bring a grown-up generation back to the engrossing stories of their youth.

This handsome anthology collects the first four books in the series: the original Betsy-Tacy, Betsy, Tacy and Tib, Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill, and Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown. Following the childhoods of Betsy Ray and her friends in the late 1800s and early 1900s, these stories immerse readers in the imaginative life of young Betsy as she navigates the challenges and triumphs of growing up in Deep Valley, Minnesota.

Forewords by renowned authors Judy Blume, Ann M. Martin, and Johanna Hurwitz, as well as the original illustrations by Lois Lenski, create a warm and inviting atmosphere for readers of all ages. The collection allows them to revisit the beloved characters they may have first encountered in their own childhoods and to introduce these timeless tales to new readers.

Through the eyes of Betsy and her friends Tacy and Tib, readers will explore the joys and struggles of friendship, family, and self-discovery. From the familiar comforts of Betsy's home to the exciting adventures that await her beyond the Big Hill, each story captures the essence of growing up in a small town and the universal experiences that connect us all.

The Betsy-Tacy series has captivated generations of readers, and this comprehensive volume offers the perfect opportunity to immerse oneself in the enchanting world of Deep Valley. Whether revisiting old friends or discovering them for the first time, readers are sure to find themselves drawn into the timeless charm and enduring appeal of Maud Hart Lovelace's beloved literary creation.
