I'm pretty sure I read some books of hers when I was young. The name sure sounds familiar. Judy! You mentioned Louisa May Alcott--does anyone remember the books she wrote about her childhood? It's not Little Women, that I know. I just remember the family moved around some, and her father was involved with some experimental utopian communities. *smile* -- Blessings.

She lived a grand 102 years, Constance Savery (1897-1999) and it looks like she wrote 67 books: http://www.librarything.com/author/saveryconstance&all=1 Some look very interesting!

It's a young adult book, "The Reb and the Redcoats," by Constance Savery. The writing style reminds me very much of Louisa May Alcott, or even the early Cherry Ames book. I was pleasantly surprised, as I'd never heard of Constance Savery. This is a definitely keeper. Has anyone else heard of this author, or have any plans to scan any of her other books? Judy s.
