    <body><![CDATA[I have to say that this is probably my least favorite of the series.  I still love it, but there are things lacking such as all the fun surrounding the &quot;crowd&quot; and Betsy's beloved Deep Valley. That being said, it's still a great book and a must read. At twenty-one, Betsy is on the verge of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8083663">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[8-25-08: I think this book, above all others, shows Maud's writing ability. She made all those cities on Betsy's trip come alive in ways few could match - it was like being able to travel by sea to wander around Munich, Oberammergau and Venice right with Betsy. I barely even missed the Crowd. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31105067">more...</a>]]></body>
