A review by spilled
Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher

3.0

This book was first published in 1917, and it's fascinating to see the way life is described with the same old battles: technology vs. simple living, co-dependence vs. pluck, overprotective parenting vs. go-run-around-in-the-dirt parenting. Also it's supposed to be for 10-year-old girls, and reads like an ad for Montessori education, but it was such a charming little story that I think Fisher totally sold me.
