This one is written for children
but, like the Little House series
and several more I could name,
I love it as an adult.
When a writer must make the
final product readable for young
people, the resulting work can show
subtle skill that simply delights me.
Caddie's father, after her sister has died,
has insisted that she must be allowed
to run with her brothers to gain
physical health and strength.
Tomboyish, she may be, but
thoughtful and involved, Caddie Woodlawn
is a girl I love to know, though
I'm not a bit like her!
