Featuring a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman and the original cover art from Heaven to Betsy.I re-read these books every year, marveling at how a world so quaint - Shirtwaists! Pompadours! Merry Widow hats! - can feature a heroine who is undeniably modern. - Laura LippmanThere are three authors whose body of work I have re-read more than once over my adult life: Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Maud Hart Lovelace. - Anna QuindlenSlipping into a Betsy book is like slipping into a favorite pair of well-worn slippers: Its always a pleasure to live in Betsys world for a little while, to experience her simple joys, but also her (thankfully short-lived) sorrows. - Meg Cabot\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678285471984,"sku":"NEW0061794694","price":17.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/heaven-to-betsy-betsy-in-spite-of-herself-by-lovelace-maud","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
