There had been a field of red poppies and a different answer... Title from the song featured in Betsy and The Great World.

In this tongue-in-cheek story, set long after the last book in the series ended, Betsy receives a package from someone she had never expected to hear from again. All characters were created by Maud Hart Lovelace. The Betsy-Tacy books were originally published by Thomas Y. Crowell and are now reprinted by HarperCollins.
