The Silver Nutmeg: The Story of Anna Lavinia and Toby (New York Review Books Children's Collection)
“This is a book more for boys than for girls, but boys how like ‘Alice in Wonderland’ will probably find this enjoyable. It is about Anna Lavinia (the girl in ‘Beyond the PawPaw Trees’) whose father thought she needed broader horizons. So he tore down their garden wall to accomplish this. Lavinia meets a boy who named Tobey and together they romp in his land of no gravity. The illustrations are delicate; the text is imaginative and poetic. This is a book for the child who loves fantasy” –Boston Globe A companion volume toBeyond the Pawpaw Trees Praise forBeyond the Pawpaw Trees: “Brilliant . . . it may prove the special treasure of many.” —New York Herald Tribune “A fantasy for girls who have lively imaginations. Anna Lavinia’s adventures will be appreciated by them and they will take the trip with her.” —Saturday Review
