In virtually every delightful illustration, Elizabeth Brown has her nose in a book. Born "skinny, nearsighted, and shy," she learns early on that her true love in life is reading. Elizabeth reads through childhood, college, and all of her adult life until books completely fill her home. Yet she continues to buy books and devour them page by page. Her collection gets so big that shelves collapse and her front door is entirely blocked. What in the world will she do? Elizabeth Brown surprises everyone with her splendid solution.
