![]() ![]() Yet many people have told me that FAMILY GRANDSTAND and FAMILY SABBATICAL were among their childhood favorites. Although she continued to successfully write for both children and adults, her later books - with perhaps the exception of BABY ISLAND - are generally forgotten these days. Her second novel for young readers, CADDIE WOODLAWN, won the 1936 Newbery Medal and has become something of a classic. Now I understand why so many people like them.Ĭarol Ryrie Brink (1895-1981) started her career with a bang. So I pulled my copies of these books off the shelf and finally got around to reading them this week. Several people wrote to say they remembered this game from FAMILY SABBATICAL, a 1956 novel by Carol Ryrie Brink, and a sequel to 1952's FAMILY GRANDSTAND. A couple days ago I blogged about the children's card game Authors. ![]()
