was with Asterix, of course not enough. From there it all kicked off.
animal books. I remember very many animal books. dogs and cats. horses were never really my thing. enterprising stories about homeless critters and orphans who then found a family together.
And then came
Pucki in my life. Puck, the forester's child . Extremely cheesy and terribly old fashioned. And it was incredibly taught many values (Evie would be thrilled).
I loved those books. Of which there are dozens, from Puckis childhood, school days to the wedding with her childhood friend and of course Pucki, our mother (the title alone ....).
Even my mother has read Puckis adventure and I still remember my excitement when we in her parents' house in Dachjuchee (so called it that, hehe), so in my mother's room, almost all the volumes of Puck found.
Puck was not alone. Also Bummi accompanied me through my early reading years. Another little girl who was older from book to book and had many exciting adventures.
then followed Hanni & Nanni and of course Dolly and for a time I wanted to boarding school.
course I also had plenty of tales and legends books and even today I am a professional when it comes to issues in these areas.
I also had a great collection of Astrid Lindgren. Pipi Longstocking, I was always stupid, but at "Mio, my Mio" and "The Brothers Lionheart" went to my heart.
Again I sometimes wonder how I could read it all. Where I took the time? Outside, I was a child! Constantly I ran with my friends and the neighborhood kids around. I let out a tree falling and no mud hole.
Yet some evidence boxes of books in the basement of my parents from my early reading developed addiction. And I know them all!
These books were good friends for me, accompanying me through my childhood and it should always be more to come.
