Carney's House Party/Winona's Pony Cart

Two stories featuring friends from the beloved Betsy-Tacy series, “characters [who] become your friends for life” (Judy Blume, award-winning author of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret).

Two of Maud Hart Lovelace’s beloved Deep Valley books join the Harper Perennial Modern Classics library, next to other enduring favorites in Maud Hart Lovelace’s Betsy-Tacy series. This beautiful combination edition of Carney's House Party and Winona's PonyCart features a foreword by author Melissa Wiley and a never-before-published biography of Lovelace illustrator Vera Neville.

Praise for Maud Hart Lovelace:

“An engaging and thoroughly likable story. . . . The happy banter, the picture of home-town friendships, the substantial family life- all are here in successful blend.” —Kirkus Reviews on Carney’s House Party (starred review)

“I am fairly certain that my independent, high-spirited grandmother must have had a childhood similar to Betsy Ray’s. . . . As I read . . . I felt that I was having an unexpected and welcome peek into Granny’s childhood.” —Ann M. Martin, author of The Baby-sitter's Club
