Book Caravan


Last week we received a permissions request from librarian Orty Ortwein to accompany his article on the Book Caravan, brainchild of Mother Horn Book Bertha Mahony Miller. It put us in a nostalgic mood, so here's some more information about Horn Book history: articles about the Book Caravan, the Bookshop for Boys and Girls, and a Horn Book reminiscence from Lee Kingman. Enjoy!
