What is Samantha's Surprising Birthday?

[Pat B]

Samantha's Suprising Birthday was a play which appeared in American Girl Magazine. The Illustrations show Samantha in her tea dress. The play takes place in Cornelias NYC town house and also includes Nellie , Brigid, Jennie, Agnes and Agatha- I think that Grandmary is there too. The suprise is that everyone has given the same present to Samantha- pink hair ribbons.

Pat, this is a great list...it must have taken a lot of research to do! I will be sure to rearrange the books in her collection on my bookshelf to fit in with this timeline. Do you plan on figuring out the other girls' order as well?
