Is this the series? I am a '64 grad as well. Time flies!
My all time favorite children's books are, in no particular order: The Secret Garden Little Women Velveteen Rabbit. I re-read the Secret Garden every spring, and cry all over again.
My 3rd grade teacher told my mother that she never thought she would have to say anyone read too much, but she thought I did, because I read more than anyone she ever knew. i still love reading. I have books in the living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, car. All open, all currently reading. Lots of quilting books, cook books, mysteries. I pick them up at thrift shops mostly. I'll read anything, anywhere, anytime. I like James Patterson, but not Dean Koontz so much. The classic historic romances like Victoria Holt, not the silouhette or harlelquin series so much, too graphic and too formulative. Well, you got me started!!
