One of my very favorite books! For a time, my personal blog (defunct) was called “Seeking the Secrets of the Angel” in its honor. I love this cover. My copy (from the late ‘70’s/early ‘80’s) has Claudia and her little brother standing on the steps of the museum.  newcover: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg One of my favorite books growing up, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is the reason I still want to run away and live in a museum to this day. If you haven’t read this book, stop reading this and go get it. My cover portrays the funky (and mixed-up) files of Lady Basil, combining my other love of card catalogs into some sort of dream cabinet that has various drawers of various sizes.
