Maud Hart Lovelace's Carney's House Party and Winona's Pony Cart
Did you know that Lovelace wrote other books set in the world of Betsy-Tacy? Neither did I, till the last ALA I went to, where I scored copies of both (actually, three, but this is two stories in one volume and one is short, so I'm just counting it as one book). These stories revisit friends of Betsy's (though she appears in both)--in the first, we find Carney on a summer visit home from college, and in the second, we go back to the characters at 8 as irrepressible Winona asks for a pony for her birthday. Both excellent additions to the series, and the Carney one picks up a plot point that the main series hints at quite a bit, which I've always wondered about.
