Betsy in Oberammergau

When the November/December issue of AAA World arrived in the mail (it's free with membership), I immediately thought of Betsy Ray's trip to Oberammergau in Betsy and the Great World by Maud Hart Lovelace (illustrated by Vera Neville; 1952).  The cover story is about that small Bavarian village, famous for its Passion Play; I wonder if it's changed much since Betsy was there in the spring of 1914.  I am a great fan of Betsy-Tacy (although I have yet to join the Society), and this book was one of my favorites in the series.  Unfortunately, it's out of print again.  But if I ever make it to Oberammergau (or Sonneberg, for that matter), it will be because of Betsy.
