Understood Betsy

Understood Betsy

Author(s): Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Location(s): New Hampshire

Genre(s): Children, Fiction

Era(s): 20th century

Nine-year-old Elizabeth Ann is horrified at the prospect of going to live with her country cousins. But as she helps with chores around the farm and makes new friends, the sickly, self-centered girl is transformed into confident, independent Betsy. “As satisfying in its evocation of an earlier, simpler way of life as Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books, and psychologically more acute.” ― The New York Times Book Review.
