One of my favorite authors, for sure, partly because of what she achieved and when! I enjoyed taking students from Grace College (Winona Lake) on field trips to her home when I taught there for a few years way back in the 80s. This reminds me to visit again on my own sometime soon. . . Thanks, Karla! :-)
ReplyDeleteMillie, I'm very familiar with Grace College and Winona Lake. I live in North Manchester -- not too far away! I have a favorite restaurant there. So cool you took your students to her homes as I did my students. Favorite, favorite memories!
DeleteVisited her home and was so impressed with the artistic, idioscyncratic parts such as the fireplace. I bet she'd have been a fun person to talk to in real life. Just recently listened to Freckles on CD because she was a favorite author of mine as a child.
ReplyDeleteI love her houses. And agree, I wish I could talk to her right now!
DeleteOh, and Mary, I read the book Freckles aloud to my classes. We all fell in love with that boy!
