They are perfectly geared to all ages because the first book
takes place when the girls are 5 and is written very simply

starts getting a little more advanced,
following the lives of a set of girl friends in the early 19oos,
and eventually ends
with the girls grown up and getting married.
Anyone from Minnesota will recognize many of the things

I think I have read them 100s of times and finally
just purchased the set, so my granddaughter
can start them when she is old enough.

Although they are not technically Christian
they were written back in the days
of morals and church going in most

I hope all of you young and old are getting some
summer reading done!
I really liked those books when I was young, and my mom just loves them! Think I'll order them for my girls too, they're the perfect age to start reading them:)
