THE KEY TO BETSY’S HEART
By SARAH NOBLE IVES
This is the story of Betsy and her dog. Betsy is a little country girl who, after her mother’s death is taken into the family of her Aunt Kate, a wise and charming person whose duty it is to bring Betsy up properly, while Betsy in turn has to bring up Van, a fox terrier. It is the dog, of course, that proves to be the key to the shy girl’s heart—an extraordinarily nice “pup” whose education is carried on simultaneously with Betsy’s, only along different lines. Both as a dog story and as a girl story The Key to Betsy’s Heart is eminently satisfying, and it is safe to conjecture that there will be many little girls in real life and a few elders, too, who will be delighted with it.

This is a very attractive edition of Sir Thomas Malory’s famous book. It has been edited by Clifton Johnson, who has prepared it particularly for children from ten to fifteen years of age.
