Media Reviews
"Greater, more disastrous, and demanding more courage are the battles into which Taran leads his followers against Arawn Death-Lord...The book has the philosophical depth and overtones of great fantasy."
"Vividly conceived, romantic in mood, yet curiously contemporary in its immediacy and fast action...there are riches for every age."

Betsy Tacy and Tib
by Maud Hart Lovelace
Betsy, Tacy and Tib were three little girls who were friends. They never quarreled. They had a lot of excitement when they tried to learn to fly - from the limb of a tree. And collecting pebbles for being bad was a lot of fun, too. Then there were always Betsy's stories to liven the day. No one told a story like Betsy! This is the story of three little girls whose childhood adventures are just as real today as when they happened around the turn of the century.

"Caps! Caps for sale!" calls the peddler, until one day he wakes up from a nap to find his caps have disappeared. Fashioned from a folktale, here's "a bright picture book, infused with a humor which seems to spring from Slobodkina's own hearty enjoyment of the troubles of a peddler with a band of monkeys".--The New York Times.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll's strange, brilliant tale filled with wonderful creatures is by now a familiar one. Within the pages of this edition, however, is a decidedly unfamiliar vision of Wonderland and all who inhabit it. After seeing DeLoss McGraw's brilliant, bizarre, and startling images of Wonderland, you'll never look at Alice the same way again.
Betsy Tacy
by Maud Hart Lovelace
Betsy and Tacy were two little five-year-olds, such inseparable friends that they were regarded almost as one. These stories of their friendship present a very real picture of young children living in the early 1900's. Each book features amusing illustrations by award-winning author/illustrator Lois Lenski.
