Okay, now you've said the magic words. I have just about ALL of the Churcemice books-- I worked in a library when I lived onbase in Germany and discovered 'em there, and bought them one by one. Do you KNOW how much those damn things go for these days? It's ridiculous. I adore them (even the one about the dog) and have been known to rave wildly about them until I badger people into reading my copies (which look pretty sad by now.) If I ever get a white van, I'm gonna have 'MUGWUMP' on the license-plate if it kills me!

And now one of MY favorite series from my childhood: ever read the Green Knowe books? :D
