Even the mention of the Madeline series brings a smile to my face —for in our family these books have happily spanned three generations—My mother read the first book about Madeline to me when I was a child. Then I, of course, couldn’t wait to read them all to my own daughter. And since I still had a copy of the very first in the series (carefully saving it along with other favorites of my children) it was I who first introduced my grandchildren to the delightful Madeline. Though my daughter has subsequently collected the other books in the series for them, I keep my copy on hand for when they come to Jackson, and it’s become something of a tradition to re-read it each time they come. -Billie
