The Girl Who Loved Adventures: The Village

When Rose was a little girl, back in the 1950s, the world was very different, but one thing was just as true then as it is today: Children love adventures! Whether that’s doing something spooky, like picking vegetables from a graveyard; something exciting, like flying down a tall hill on a small tricycle; or something embarrassing, like getting your head stuck in a picket fence—anything can be an adventure depending on how you look at it.

The Girl Who Loved Adventures is a collection of short children’s stories taken directly from the memories of its author, who was always getting into mischief when she was a little girl and learning lessons the hard way… although she never truly outgrew her love of adventure.
