Re: Favorite books

[Giulia Greenberg <greenber@ASCENT.NET>]

I think Carolyn may be referring to the Twins books, by Perkins.   I loved
these as a child.  They took place in different countries, so there was The
Dutch Twins, The French Twins, etc.  They were very old-fashioned even when
I read them, and I'm sure I would be horrified now at the stereotyping.  But
I devoured them then.
I also loved The Secret Garden, the Bobbsey Twins, the Andrew Lang color
fairy books.
When I became a library trainee I read many books I had never read as a
child.  I loved E. Nesbit, Tolkien, the wonderful books by Arthur Ransome
including Swallows and Amazons, the Green Knowe books.  I particularly
liked - and still like - fantasy.
