1. Happy Birthday Esther Averill

    Today is the centenary of Esther Averill’s birthday! We’ve re-issued seven of her shy, red scarf-wearing, black cat Jenny Linsky books, and they are both treasured favorites for those who read them as children and new joys for first time readers. If you’re lonely in the West Village don’t worry, Jenny has been there before.

    I have to say: when I saw a...local Barnes and Noble, I squealed. I loved those

    My favorite childhood books! My copies were printed by Harper & Row in the 1970s. I’m happy NYRB is bringing them back.
