    I love these reminders of books from the library I used to visit as a child. Thanks for the memory of Garth Williams' drawings - the tender line, the hairy texture - like everything is in close-up. What's the story of Amigo?

    I'll give it a go for my nephew, forgive my ignorance, but is Williams the same fellow who illustrated Charlottes Web?
    Cheers,

    I love Garth Williams! I can't see his drawings without thinking of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

    I'm not familiar with this book, but I really like all of the Byrd Baylor books I've read. Her writing always has a lovely tone.

    I just perused your favorite authors list and was happy to see almost all of my favorites on it. And then surprised that I didn't recognize several.

    I have liked Garth Williams' work ever since I read the Little House books as a child.
