Magic Elizabeth

Magic Elizabeth - Norma Kassirer, Joe Krush I still have my Scholastic paperback, and the other day I found another copy. Which, naturally, I picked up because there are still people who have not read this book and I will help them with their plight.No surprises here, just delightful time travel/dreams, dolls, cats and crochety old aunties. Any book that starts with a woebegone little girl being dropped off by her sweet caretaker because of an emergency is going to be wonderful- or so it has always proven.The events of this book unfold in just a few short days, though it seemed longer when I read it as a kid. There an old diary, some old-fashioned clothes, and a mystery. Plus a melodeon! And a tea set. This is where I first ran into the gas plant, as well.Well worth seeking out.
