Zippy the Dreamer

Virginia wrote Zippy the Dreamer thinking about an old estate near her childhood home in north western Pennsylvania. It was abandoned, in disreputable neglect and disrepair. A perfect setting for the story. Since writing the book she is happy to report that the old estate has been majestically restored. A part of history has been reclaimed. Virginia loves children and is well aware of the magic of books, and how children when they learn to read or are read to will learn to appreciate reading. She believes children as a general rule love fantasy and make believe.
