Illustrator: Paul Kennedy. b/w. illustrated end-papers; illustrated throughout by charming b/w. drawings; In the story of Victoria, Miss Chase turns to the area she loves best in the world - rural Maine - and to her childhood as one of a family of eight children with an unending succession of animals. Victoria the pig was one of these. Saved from life in the sty by a happy accident, Victoria became one of the Chases' adored and pampered pets.
