Herman Parish was in the fourth grade when his aunt, Peggy Parish, created Amelia Bedelia, the literal-minded housekeeper who has delighted readers for generations. Following Peggy's passing in 1988, Herman took up the series in 1995, continuing her much-loved character with warmth and humour. He later reimagined Amelia Bedelia as a young girl, writing this bestselling chapter book series alongside picture books and early readers. Herman's storytelling preserves his aunt's gentle wit while introducing fresh, kid-friendly scenarios that keep the series a firm favourite with parents, teachers and young readers alike.. Why You'll Love This Box Set:. Eight complete stories deliver hundreds of pages of gentle humour and familiar fun, giving children a satisfying, giggle-filled path into chapter books they'll want to read again and again - a brilliant gift for any young reader..
