170B: Family who lives in
a tent and moves from place to placeI’m trying to track down a book I remember reading and LOVING as a child back in the 1960s. I was probably 8 or 10 at the time. I don’t recall there being any pictures. It was about a girl and her family who migrated from place to place and lived in a tent. I remember there being detail about how they set up their tent to make it feel like home. The little girl had a shoe box of some sort that all her belongings and treasures were kept in. She may or may not have had a doll, too. I can’t recall the plot. I just recall being fascinated by a little girl living in a tent and having to move everything the family owned from place to place. Any help you can give me would be great!

Summer is a
great time for
new
discoveries
and to show
off those
prize pieces
in your book
collection.
Anything goes:
you can bring
treasured
tomes and tell
us about them,
or you can
bring odd
curiosities
you know
nothing about
and let group
members tell
you what they
think. This
is also great
fun for the
novice book
collectors to
explore the
wonders of
what is out
there.
Either way,
there’s always
something to
learn and some
great books to
discuss.
Bring a book
and join
us.

An exhilarating meditation on nature and its seasons—a personal narrative highlighting one year's exploration on foot in the author's own neighborhood in Tinker Creek, Virginia. In the summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays 'King of the Meadow' with a field of grasshoppers.
