From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler2017 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the beloved classic From the Mixed up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old fashioned kind of running away. She didn't like discomfort. Therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere.

2017 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the beloved classic From the Mixed-up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away....She didn't like discomfort....Therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere. To a large place, a comfortable place, an indoor place, and preferably a beautiful place. And that's why she decided upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.-- from From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler When Claudia decided to run away, she planned very carefully. She would be gone just long enough to teach her parents a lesson in Claudia appreciation. And she would go in comfort -- she would live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She saved her money, and she invited her brother Jamie to go, mostly because he was a miser and would have money. Claudia was a good organizer and Jamie had some ideas too; so the two took up residence at the museum right on schedule. But once the fun of settling in was over, Claudia had two unexpected problems: She felt just the same and she wanted to feel different; and she found a statue at the Museum so beautiful she could not go home until she discovered its maker, a question that baffled the experts, too. The former owner of the statue was Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Without her -- well, without her, Claudia might never have found a way to go home. For many years E. L. Konigsburg's story has entranced readers of all ages. This special anniversary edition contains a new afterword from the author, along with a few extra surprises to delight readers old and new.

Works great, good quality and colors
Color: Beige
Just love this remote control holder. Have two in the living room, two in the bedroom and gave some to our children. Sure beats the mess of having remotes laying all over the furniture. And at night I can reach for a remote to change the height of my adjustable mattress in the dark, because I know the location right at the beginning of the holder. Pretty colors and blending with furniture well. Built to last and perfect size.
