As I got older I loved "Stuart Little" and "The Trumpet of the Swan" both by E.B. White. I hated "Charlotte's Web" though...I didn't like spiders back then either! LOL! Also, "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde was a favorite and still is. I still cry when I read that one! |

I still have the book! When I was older I loved the Little Women series and Anne of Green Gables. My sister was mad on Famous Five and Secret Seven Sue - if I was a boy Jayne said I had to be named Julian after one of the characters! As a teenager I had a part time job in the library - I bet you would have loved that Kriisy & Diana! It was a dream job and really well paid. |

I am thinking specifically of the Little House Books; when I was reading them as a youngster I found comfort in pretending to be part of that family where love and nurturing were so evident. As an adult I marvel at the simplicity of times gone by. In some ways I wish we could be like that again.
