Thanks for the information about the family of writers for Nancy Drew, The Hardy brothers and the Bobsey Twins. I read the Twins books avidly as a young child, though not the others. When I was involved in running a girl Guide (Scout) Company about twenty years after I read those books I was intrigued to learn that a pair of sisters in the company each had a boy twin.
As for still reading children's favourites as adults that usually is the sign of a well written book: the actual age of the reader doesn't come into it. I remember an English teacher in secondary school telling a class of teenagers that good children's books are not limited to a readership of children only. He was talking about Arthur Ransome at the time but I agree it refers equally well to the books of L.M. Montgomery. I have them all *and* videos of the Anne books and the books of "Tales" which were produced by Canadian TV. Every so often I wallow. patricia in Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
