Why read it?
1 author picked Dandelion Cottage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I live right down the street from the “real” Dandelion Cottage (though it has been moved from its original site)! I walk past it nearly every day when I’m out strolling with my pooch. So this book is locally famous.
It’s a children’s book, and I’m hoping one day to read it to grandchildren or great-nieces and nephews. I particularly enjoyed the interactions of the four girls who are the main characters and reading about their interests in the early 20th century.
From Lynn's list on Michigan’s wild and wonderful Upper Peninsula.
