Betty's Happy Year follows fifteen-year-old Betty McGuire through a season of merriment, mischief, and family affection at Denniston Hall. Newly reunited with her mother after inheriting a fortune, Betty lives in a warm, unconventional household with Jack and little Polly, where her lively imagination and generous heart keep every day full of promise. From a sparkling winter sleigh ride in her new cutter with her pony, Dixie, to cheerful visits with friends like May Fordham, the story unfolds as a series of bright, affectionate episodes marked by school adventures, practical jokes, holidays, and special celebrations. Betty and her friends plan an old-fashioned Thanksgiving Harvest Home, blending costumes and traditional foods with gifts for families in The Hollow. Christmas brings a grander adventure: a trip to New York City for sightseeing, shopping, and theater, joined by Agnes, Stub, and others. Along the way, disguises, clever schemes, and a playful joke on Mr. Irving lead to laughter and a reward of new hats in Boston. Warm, funny, and festive, this is a spirited tale of friendship, belonging, and the joys of a very happy year. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
