Peep toe pumps and vintage books-does it get better than that?

Last night, I was thinking about the 1940s edition Nancy Drews I would find in used bookshops and antique stores, and I started to remember all my favorite books. I worshiped the Boxcar Children, Anne of Green Gables and read the Chronicles of Narnia until the binding fell to pieces.
What did you love to read as a kid?

  3. I loved anything relating to princesses or girls living in foreign lands or interesting time periods. I adored the American Girls series. Samantha and Felicity were my favorite because I thought they had the prettiest outfits :)
    Lena, your comments on my blog make my day! I'm so happy you like the little history series. I love how it makes me think about something that otherwise I would have never thought about!

    I used to read this book collection by Hachette in France. They were different stories by different authors.
    and the series all had pink book covers ... I wish I had kept them all!
