Clearly I am not well enough read in Children's literature, probably too biased by my own childhood references.

I think I must have read "Little Women" about a hundred times, and it was the first book I ever read all the way through in Italian as well! (My mom got it for me when me moved there, knowing I liked the book already) to help me become more fluent before school started.) And I was in love with Professor Bhaer long before Gabrielle Byrne ever portrayed him in the most recent film adaptation...not that he hurt the cause, either!
::sigh:: they don't make 'em like they used to, do they?
I love me some of them there books!
