Elizabeth Yates

I know it's a well-written book, but I'm an extremely picky reader and it didn't take with me.

Other Newbery Honor books that year were Fog Magic by Julia L. Sauer, Rufus M. by Eleanor Estes, and Mountain Born by Elizabeth Yates.

And since this book was written in 1943, I wanted to talk about other celebrities that were born that year.

And there is a boatload who are still with us.

The New Hampshire Historical Society has recently added, mainly due to requests made by first and second graders at Dublin Christian Academy, their 275th historical highway marker in honor of the little girl who was said to have been saved by a bear all those years ago.

The marker is in accordance with the tale, as told by Elizabeth Yates, and reads in part, quote, A local man joined the search after dreaming three times that Sarah would be found under a pine limb near Berry Brook, guarded by a bear.

His dream proved to be true.

Sarah was found, as he stated, and she told rescuers that a great black dog had kept her each night, end quote.
