Thanks so much for this rebroadcast. I learned of Virginia's books when my wife, Susan, began reading Probably Still Nick Swansen aloud to her 5th grade students when it was first published. They loved it, and she made Virginia's books a centerpiece of her focus on literature. Virginia became a personal friend. She was generous with her time, and a cherished guest in my wife's classroom.

My personal favorite is The Mozart Season.
