Your favourite character as a child?

Biggy Ears, and his side-kick Noddy.
they kind of went together.
and the red n yellow car, beep-beep.
i looked up to Biggy Ears, and identified with Noddy as the junior partner.
it was obvious that Biggy Ears owned the car, but Noddy was the driver, like a chauffeur. beep-beep !

Molly Molly Mandy. And the Naughtiest Girl
In the School (name escapes me… Elizabeth?)

Callistemon - Tamzin from Wish for a Pony (and the rest of the series of books) for me, too!

Katy from What Katy Did, and Jo from Little Women.

I was in love with Dickon from The Secret Garden- I loved that book.

Down to Earth, me too with the Chalet School books, i so wanted to go to a finishing school overlooking the Matterhorn, but as one of 10 children living in poverty, was never likely to happen!!!!

Lyn from The Swish Of The Curtain Pamela Brown. Growing up I desperately wanted to be an actress.

George from The Famous Five for me as well Grannybags also loved the Katy books.

Bridgèt park,we could have been partners in crime.
The books where escapism for me also.

Little Grey Rabbit and Penelope Pitstop

Little Grey Rabbit and Penelope Pitstop

I wanted to call our youngest DC Penelope but the others said they'd call her Penelope Pitstop 😀

I loved Spotty Dog from the Woodentops, Watch With Mother series.
When abit older it was Heidi.

Veronica Weston, the little girl who becomes a famous ballerina and marries the lovely Sebastian! Heroine of the Sadlers Wells books by Lorna Hill. I so wanted to have ballet lessons - never could have happened in my family, but I made sure my daughter did!

Timmy, the Famous Five dog. 🐶

A bit later, Robin Hood - the B&W TV character who was ‘riding through the glen’.

Titty from Amazon books, Jo from Little Women, and Georgina from the Famous Five.

I can only join those wanting to be Georgina from the Famous Five.

Years ago , I thought that it was nice to watch Heidi with my small daughters .

One afternoon , I had some baking to do and left them watching the TV .

Lingering in the doorway thinking how sweet they were - I heard the older one say ,
" Not bloody boring Heidi again . "

To which , her two year old sister ( who rarely spoke ) replied ,
" Ruddy Heidi ,"
furiously sucking her thumb and hugging her teddy .

Molly Molly Mandy. And the Naughtiest Girl
In the School (name escapes me… Elizabeth?)

Milly also had her friend" Little Friend Susan.".
I once had a colleague in fits of laughter for a day. Our bossy head turned up with a new haircut, thinking she was the bee's knees. My friend whispered "What the hell", and I whispered back" Little friend Susan."
One of the favourites I found teaching Infants was My Naughty little sister by Dorothy Edwards with Illustrations by Shirley Hughes. I kept quite a few generations quiet and my GC loved them too.

Not a character but Hayley Mills and the characters she played in all her films such as The Parent Trap. I SO wanted to be her.

Esmay 😂😂😂

Oh yes. Pollyanna! I’ve got a solar powered rainbow maker in my kitchen as I always loved the scene in Pollyanna with the chandelier.

Mine were Milly Molly Mandy. The Four Mary’s as I got older

As I was a tomboy My hero was always Biggles. Had all the books & reread many times!

I loved the Twins at St Claire’s by Enid Blyton. Loved the tales of boarding school. Written in the 1940s and I read them in the 1960s but didn’t feel old fashioned to me

Paddington I suppose. I loved him and the silly scrapes he got into.

Someone mentioned The Swish of the Curtain. I loved that book and the sequels. Pamela Brown was only 15 when she wrote it.
