An Old Fashioned Girl

 I found this 1963 edition of An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott at a local thrift store for $0.25. It was illustrated by Dan and Norma Garris. Alcott has such a talent for selecting descriptive words, and there is a sweetness to all her writing. This is a coming of age story of a girl named Polly and her humble, pleasant life.
This name was written on the inside cover...doesn't it perfectly suit?

Good Wives

 Who knew Little Women had a sequel? 
 Well this lovely vintage edition proves that it in fact does!
 I love the pansy-covered blue and yellow cover illustrations--pure spring cheer!
 Now it's just beckoning for me to read it in this lovely wedding season...
