The 2010 Reading Across Rhode Island (RARI) title is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.Shortly after the end of WWII, Juliet Ashton of London receives a letter from a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – only the beginning of a series of letters bridging two islands and chronicling the story of the Guernsey islanders’ indomitable spirit during the German occupation.
Save the Date: The 8th Annual May Breakfast: May 1, 2010 with Keynote, Annie Barrows, co author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Also please watch this blog and the Reading Across Rhode Island website for the date for the January Launch Conference and other activities and resources about our 2010 title.
Ms. Barrows is also the author of the children’s series Ivy and Bean and The Magic Half. Mary Ann Shaffer, a librarian and editor, nurtured the tale about Guernsey for twenty years before committing pen to paper. Unfortunately, Ms. Shaffer passed away in February, 2008 before the final edits to the manuscript were complete. She asked her niece, Annie Barrows, to complete the revisions - and the story is now ours to share with all Rhode Islanders.
