Betsy and the Great World/Betsy's Wedding by Maud Hart Lovelace

The adventures of Betsy Ray continue in this treasured collection featuring two classic stories.

Now a young woman with ambitions of becoming a writer, Betsy embarks on the journey of a lifetime: a grand tour of Europe. From the artistic energy of Munich to the enchanting canals of Venice and the historic streets of London, she soaks in the culture of the Great World, gathering experiences that will shape her future.

But when the outbreak of World War I brings her travels to an abrupt end, Betsy returns home to Minnesota and to her high school sweetheart, Joe Willard. This charming historical fiction volume follows their sweet romance as they finally get married, find their first little house on Canoe Place, and navigate the joys and challenges of newlywed life in the early 20th century. It's a story about growing up, finding your place in the world, and building a home filled with love.
