Book Signed by Jeanette Beebe

Eric Drost offered Misty's Heaven this book from his family signed by Jeanette Beebe in 1977. The family was visiting Chincoteague on an RV trip and Jeanette was signing books for tourists. They had a hardcover copy of Misty at home but hadn't brought it so they bought this paperback for $1.95 downtown. Their mom decided it was worth buying a book for Jeanette to sign, but not without mentioning it a few times! Jeanette took a long time to sign this book and they were wondering what was going on, until they saw this great inscription she wrote.

As you can see Jeanette listed Misty and her 3 foals. And 4 of Stormy's 5 foals, the 5th was born in 1978. Two of Windy's foals and Breezy's daughter who was later named Beebe Breeze.

Marguerite Henry would occasionally sign copies of Misty with a speech bubble about being the real Misty. Looks like Jeanette liked that and did it also.
