Betsy in Spite of Herself

When Maud Hart Lovelace published Betsy-Tacy, her first children's book, in 1940, she never intended to write an entire series. But readers loved the book so much they begged for more stories -- and now, sixty years and nine books later, there are almost 800,000 copies of the Betsy-Tacy books in print. HarperTrophy is delighted to bring these beloved books into the new millennium with fresh new faces. This season, welcome stunning new paperback editions of the four Betsy-Tacy High School books, featuring a foreword by Anna Quindlen, beautiful new covers in a special die-cut, collectible format, and an all-new biographical section filled with fascinating historical information and photographs.

Look for the final two titles -- Betsy and the Great World and Betsy's Wedding -- in Winter 2001.
