A reread--but first read it a very long time ago. I loved Laura's letters, especially since they're about one of my favorite random historical subject (world's fairs). There are delightful tidbits, especially Laura's worries about Manly on the farm on his own and her struggle to practice writing with Rose.
And Rose (who continues to puzzle me!) seems much more normal in this book.
I do wonder if this book is the reason why I've had that long time interest in World's Fairs. . .
