Zoot alors!

This is something The Dear One needs to know RIGHT NOW! Fortunately, it's times like this that I work so hard to make the LLamabutchers the source of eclectic knowledge that it is. Unfortunately, at times like this, The Dear One doesn't exactly read the LLamas. Or, as she put it the other day, "Why exactly would I want to read what you, the otherwise sensible Robert, and your imaginary friends natter on about?"

But then she would miss IMPORTANT ACTION ALERTS like this: the Maud Lovelace Betsy/Tacy/Tibb books are in danger of going out of print! Betsy/Tacy/Tibb are a defining element of the literature of daily life around Stately LLama Manor, and, while I believe we have all the books, the very principle of them going out of print is going to generate some very stern letters of reprimand indeed, buster.

That is, if she finds out. By reading the LLamas.

That, plus the dumbering down of the Little House Books, over at Melissa Wiley's blog.
