Epigraph

Dedication

This book is dedicated to ( and wouldn't haven been possible without) our patient and loving husbands, Darryl Bates and Dan Milder, and to the women who introduced us to both children's literature and travel: our mothers, Ellie Dunn and Patricia Taylor.

First words

The world first opens up to children in the pages of great books, taking them in their imaginations to fascinating places near and far:a farmhouse on Prince Edward Island, a cave on the banks of the Mississippi River, a long-ago village in Holland, a convent school in Paris, a fancy hotel in New York City.
