Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-13 00:00:00 Mikolaj Romanowski To this day, I have absolutely no clue whether or not Virginia Cary Hudson really wrote this book. I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that she was the figment of a very clever marketer, but I prefer to believe that she really traipsed around Louisville, Kentucky, getting the bishop to drink mint juleps and baptising babies in the rainwater barrels. This book is probably one of my favorite childhood memories, and while some might snipe and say there's no way a child could be this unintentionally sharp and observant, I beg to differ. My own students catch me out eighteen ways before Sunday, especially when it comes to the ridiculata of grown-up life. As a kid, I remember thinking that Virginia was both hilarious and entirely accurate. Oh ye beans and roses, oh ye jigs and juleps indeed and amen.
