Understood Betsy
Illustrated by Clendenin, Ada
Nine year old Elizabeth Ann has been pampered by her aunts in the city, but when she is sent to live with her Putney cousins on a farm in Vermont, she encounters a whole new set of expectations. 'Betsy' rises to the occasion, growing in independence and resourcefulness, while at the same time winning her way into their hearts.
