(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Clara Vulliamy. These nine stories, originally published between 1928 and 1955, have been newly illustrated and collected in an oversized book. In the old-fashioned stories, Milly-Molly-Mandy, a spunky, independent little girl, is safe and cared for everywhere in her small village. The delicate watercolors show a kind world of smiling friends and neighbors. This will appeal to nostalgic adults and girls too young for Betsy, Tacy and Tib.
