With only a few days left in the Maud Hart Lovelace Reading Challenge I thought now would be a good time to share some of the links and tidbits of information I've discovered over the last year. Some of these may be new to you, others may not. Either way I hope you'll take a moment to check them out. Enjoy! (Oh, and if you know of a related link that I missed please feel free to leave a comment with the link.)

Thanks for the link.
I can only listen to a bit of the Merry WIdow because it's associated in my mind, not wth Betsy and Tacy and all things beautifully Deep Valley, but rather with the Alfred Hitchcock movie, Shadow of a Doubt. Very creepy.
Hadn't heard the Merry Widow Waltz so that was fun to give a listen to. Thanks for posting! I love how much information you share as part of this challenge.
Thank you for the link! It was so much fun seeing the stomping grounds of Betsy & Tacy (and Tibb...and Emily...and Winona...and...)
I can't wait to go back after I've (ahem) actually read the books.
Thank you for putting this post together! It's fabulous!
That is a fun waltz!
Thanks for this extensive list and for hosting the challenge! The month sure went by fast.
