Books read so far:
The Boxcar Children, Gertrude Chandler Warner
It's a book that shows its age, but is relentlessly charming anyway. The writing is very specific for the period, using phrases such as 'dear old blank', and the continued refusal to use contractions in dialogue. But as a kid, this book always made me want to run off and live in the woods and make do with little money and only my own ingenuity. It still does.
