Betsey Biggalow is Here!
Four stories set in the Caribbean relating to the everyday experiences of a spirited young miss. Elizabeth Ruby Biggalow. Betsey, as she's usually called, is the youngest of three children and there's a warm portrayal of family life in the stories with Betsey emerging a little wiser from each of the episodes. Gentle humour and a real feeling of place pervade the stories which are highly recommended for sharing with under-8s or for solo reading.
