Hello, wonderful Pubyackers! Thanks so much for all the quick responses
to my stumper about the little girl who goes to live with her seven
redheaded boy cousins. The consensus is _Eight Cousins_ by Louisa May
Alcott, though some of my patron's details were incorrectly remembered.
Thanks again!

Subject: Stumper: Mule jealous of transportation by rail
________________
I ran into a lady this past week-end who needs the name of a
children's book. The storyline is: a mule/donkey pulls the cart of
goods until the railroad is built. The mule is put out in the pasture
all sad because it is not needed anymore. One day the train breaks
down. The mule gets to pull the cart again. If you remember this
book from your childhood or are a really good librarian and can
discover the title from what I gave you, I would be most appreciative.
________________
I have tried A to Zoo, but I can't tell judging from the titles, which
one it could be if it is any of them at all.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you to Carolyn A. Fain of the Fountaindale Public Library who solved
my stumper (see the original posting below). The book was THE CHICKEN POX
PAPERS by Susan Terris, 1976. Thanks so much for your amazing memory!
Thank you also to Jennifer McQuilkin who suggested LETTERS FROM PHILIPPA,
another good story about letters from the past.

"People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading"
-Logan Pearsall Smith
I am trying to locate a book, but I'm afraid I don't have a lot of clues
to work with. The story is a middle fiction book, probably published in
the early half of the 1980's. A girl explores an antique rolltop desk (she
either comes to stay with a relative, or the desk is inherited and moved
into her room)
She finds old letters or a journal from a girl from the past, and
eventually finds a secret compartment in the desk which contains something
from this
girl. It turns out that the girl in the letters is a female
relative (mother? aunt?) to whom the girl has trouble relating. The
relative thinks the girl is too high-spirited (she chops off her braid at
the start of the story), but through the letters, she finds out the girl
in the letters was just as troublesome.

We have a patron who is looking for any books by Eleanor Rohde
and he says it is not to be confused with Eleanour Sinclair Rohde.
The author he is looking for wrote children's book unders a pen name
during 1940s or 1950s.
I know this isn't much information to go on. Thanks
