Now a young woman with ambitions of becoming a writer, in Betsy and the Great World , Betsy embarks on the journey of a lifetime: a grand tour of Europe. From the artistic energy of Munich to the enchanting canals of Venice and the historic streets of London, she soaks in the culture of the Great World, gathering experiences that will shape her future. But when the outbreak of World War I brings her travels to an abrupt end, Betsy returns home in Betsy’s Wedding to Minnesota and her high school sweetheart, Joe Willard. This charming novel follows their sweet romance as they finally get married, find their first little house on Canoe Place and navigate the joys and challenges of newlywed life in the early 20th century. It’s a story about growing up, finding your place in the world and building a home filled with love. Featuring a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Anna Quindlen, cover art illustrated by Vera Neville from the original 1952 publication of Betsy and the Great World , interior illustrations by Neville, along with archival material and photos of Maud Hart Lovelace, her friends and the town of Mankato, MN, the basis for Deep Valley. Many of places and homes from the books can still be seen today, including Betsy’s and Tacy’s childhood homes, which are available to tour thanks to the Betsy-Tacy Society. Read all the books in the classic Betsy-Tacy series, which follows aspiring writer Betsy Ray and her friends from the age of five through to Betsy’s post-high school travel in pre-WWI Europe and her wedding, spanning the first decade of the 1900s and beyond. These iconic stories, based in large part on Maud Hart Lovelace’s own childhood, teenage years and young adulthood in Mankato (Deep Valley), MN have been beloved by generations of readers and authors alike: The Betsy-Tacy Books Betsy-Tacy Betsy, Tacy and Tib Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown Also available in the four-volume omnibus The Betsy-Tacy Treasury Heaven to Betsy/Betsy in Spite of Herself (two-volume omnibus) Betsy Was a Junior/Betsy and Joe (two-volume omnibus) Betsy and the Great World/Betsy’s Wedding (two-volume omnibus) The Deep Valley Books (books about other characters in Betsy’s Crowd and town): Carney’s House Party/Winona’s Pony Cart (two-volume omnibus) Emily of Deep Valley Review: Thank you for using cover art by the original illustrators! - I absolutely love the Betsy-Tacy books, and I cannot recommend them enough to girls of any age. You can grow up with Betsy: share her adventures as a little girl, follow her through the sometimes bewildering world of high school, and finally join her in her world travels as a young woman. When I got my first job in a store, I imagined Joe sitting behind the counter, reading the Three Musketeers while Betsy looked for gifts for her family. When I went backpacking in Europe after graduating from college, I took a copy of Betsy and the Great World with me, and I loved getting to compare the modern Venice to the Venice seen through Betsy's eyes. After the Betsy books my mother gave me when I was little finally fell to pieces from excessive re-reading, I tried to buy more, but was annoyed by the modern cover art (seriously, why would Betsy be in fish net stockings in a book set before WWI?). I'm so delighted that these editions use cover art by the original illustrators. I particularly love Vera Neville's illustrations--they are so beautiful, and bring the characters to life so perfectly. Thank you, Harper Perennial Modern Classics, for publishing such beautiful editions of these wonderful books! Review: Superbly written, a joy to read. - Nothing in the world makes you feel better than a Betsy-Tacy book, and, in my opinion, Heaven to Betsy is the best of them all, although every other Betsy-Tacy book is a close second. A male friend of mine who read the whole series describes Lovelace as the American Proust. You are THERE with Betsy and her family in Deep Valley, Minnesota, starting in 1897 and concluding 20 years later. Along the way you relive a happy childhood and with Betsy and her friends--and then go on to a typical adolescent teenage period, before the last two books, which include Betsy's adventures in the Great World and, at last, her marriage and early wedded life to the guy she's loved since the day she met him. Home schoolers and their parents love these books. The quality of the writing is unsurpassed, the values are superb and these girls are great role models, without being in any way boring--they are altogether too human for that. You want laugh out loud funny? Read a Betsy-Tacy book. You want a few tears and a lot of empathizing? You want nostalgia, and love, and joy? Lovelace delivers them all, in spades. Amazing, accomplished women all over the world love these books. Don't miss out on one of the greatest pleasures life can afford--an introduction to the world of Betsy Ray. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #157,316 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #27 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Pregnancy Social & Family Issues (Books) #61 in Teen & Young Adult Literary Fiction #91 in Teen & Young Adult 20th Century United States Historical Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 379 Reviews | ## Images ![Betsy and the Great World/Betsy's Wedding - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uFa+AdKPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you for using cover art by the original illustrators! *by M***G on July 22, 2010* I absolutely love the Betsy-Tacy books, and I cannot recommend them enough to girls of any age.
