Nope--you were right. Their dad was a detective & Nancy Drew's dad was a lawyer
You don't mean you still have them! With my limited bookspace i had to let them go. Still have some Blyton, Biggles and Three investigators though. i for one will never let go of the early days. Some evenings, when the brain is tired and you don't feel like anything i take forward one of those to see me to bed.Nope--you were right. Their dad was a detective & Nancy Drew's dad was a lawyer
Nope, those are long gone. I have a couple of Three Investigators books left, though, and the Trixie Beldens are on my daughter's shelf
I still have (and re-read) The Swiss Family Robinson, Heidi, A Secret Garden, A Little Princess, Kidnapped, and Treasure Island. Oh, and Harry Potter is non-negotiable--those will stay on the shelf forever.
Here are some early favorites that I loved:
Then, of course i forget, the most natural child book authoress for every swedish child in my generation (and before and after too for that matter. Astrid Lindgren. Pippi Longstocking you call her most known creation in english i think but she has written so many good books for children. Still have some of hers.Nope, those are long gone.

Elidor by Alan Garner, I first read that when I was 11, and also The Duelling Machine by Ben Bova a story about a virtual reality video game that settled arguments, in 1977!
I liked to read Archie comics and on this sad note...

I still have those, too
The part where Pippi is making pepparkakor made my daughter laugh so hard she got sick--lol. I love Pippi. Those were the first books that made me want to visit Sweden, and I still want to 
Nancy drews for sure, but the first real book was probably
Harriet the Spy
Harriet the Spy
Have you read any of her more a little longer novels. Pippi is short stories i mean. Like Ronja, the Robbers daughter or The Brothers Lionheart? Emil of Lönneberga, Madicken and Mio, My Mio (perhaps Mio, my son in english) were also really good. If you havent i can recommend them. The first two to most people that can read books. The rest perhaps mostly for your kids. Just a thought.I still have those, too
The first book I remeber having a serious affect on me was A Wrinkle in Time. Not sure how old I was. By the time I was 12 I'd read everything they'd let me read in the childrens section. Even with my moms approval. So she handed me Gone With the Wind and a book about Elizabeth I being put in the Tower by her sister.
Thank you! I've only read Pippi and her picture books (to my little ones). I'll look for the others

Great stuff.. I also loved The Black Stallion by Walter Farley, Anna Sewel's Black Beauty, The Wind in the Willows, and so many more.. Those authors that brought young juveniles to the joy of reading were awesome..
...I applaud what they've done and why they've done it...however, he will "live" on in other titles and that's absurd...dead is dead...I feel the same about comic super-heroes, if you kill em off-leave em gone for the luvva of all things Excelsior!....I liked to read Archie comics and on this sad note...
