About the author

An author of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for children and young adults as well as an author and author/illustrator of picture books for children, Cynthia Rylant is recognized as a gifted writer who has contributed memorably to several genres of juvenile literature. A prolific author who often bases her works on her own background, especially on her childhood in the West Virginia mountains, she is the creator of contemporary novels and historical fiction for young adults, middle-grade fiction and fantasy, lyrical prose poems, beginning readers, collections of short stories, volumes of poetry and verse, books of prayers and blessings, two autobiographies, and a biography of three well-known children's writers; several volumes of the author's fiction and picture books are published in series, including the popular "Henry and Mudge" easy readers about a small boy and his very large dog.

Rylant is perhaps most well known as a novelist. Characteristically, she portrays introspective, compassionate young people who live in rural settings or in small towns and who tend to be set apart from their peers.

Absolutely delightful. My girls and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this 6 book box set. The stories are fun, the illustrations are lovely and the characters are creative and endearing. I remember loving these books as a 9-10 year old and it is fun to revisit them all these years later. The illustrations were so familiar and just as fun this time around

I read this series to Evelyn (4). It was sweet and wholesome and nostalgic of the little happenings of childhood, but a little slow at times. I loved the illustrations, especially of Aunt Lucy’s house. Evelyn liked it but wasn’t incredibly engaged. She loved the last book the most.

To be honest these weren’t my favourites for read-aloud books, I think they’re better suited for early readers to read to themselves - Rose loved reading them!

Adorable, wholesome series! Made for a wonderful read aloud. I enjoyed the adventures the cousins came up with and how they built relationships with their neighbors. This might be my favorite series by Cynthia Rylant!

These books delighted Hannah as a child and her daughters are now loving them as well. One of my favorite series. Hannah loved them so much when she was young that she wrote a letter to Cynthia Rylant. What a pleasure it was when she recieved a note back!!
