Definitely!... Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series! I identified with Laura. No surprises there, right?
A very close second choice: Nancy Drew, the original versions. I yearned for a little roadster like hers and I named my little dog after hers. The new, modernized versions just don't cut it! |

| Well, if a magazine column that became two books counts, I vote for "The Old Man and The Boy" by Robert Ruark. Where else can a young'un learn about lares and penates? My grandfather had ever issue of "Field and Stream" in the cellar and if you strung together every column from 1953 to 1964, it was a power of reading on everything from gun safety to surf fishing to training a goat to African safari to knight errants to sputnik. Guess where I got my complementary close ? |

Nancy Drew would win hands down. My favorite of all time was "The Spider Sapphire Mystery" and I still remember the first one I read which was "The Spiral Staircase Mystery." To this day I still wish I could be as resourceful and organized as Nancy!
I also loved Encyclopedia Brown, plus some other series which came out earlier in the 20th century. Anybody remember The Moffitts series by Eleanor Estes or the Betsy-Tacy friendship series documenting early 20th century life in Minnesota? |
