Your favourite character as a child?

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

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

Timmy, the Famous Five dog. 🐶

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

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!

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

Little Grey Rabbit and Penelope Pitstop

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

Little Grey Rabbit and Penelope Pitstop

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

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

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

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!!!!

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

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

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

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

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 !

Samantha from Bewitched, loved that as a kid. Wanted to be able to wiggle my nose, magic!

Chinky from the Magic Wishing Chair for me.

I thought that it was incredible that Rupert had a friend called Tiger Lily and even more exciting -her father was a Chinese conjurer and they lived in a pagoda .
This was so much more exciting than my family .

Then Velvet Brown rode horses and very well - access to any horses was thrilling to me .

And Georgina was a tomboy with a dog .
I was a tomboy with dog .

Swallows and Amazons was appealing too .

So all I need to be - a Chinese pagoda dwelling girl with a magician father ,who rode horses and was a tomboy with a dog and we could have adventures in a boat !

When Dr Who came on screen - I was the new Doctor's assistant and fought intrepidly against the Daleks .

In adulthood I've yearned to be part of the Borg Collective .

I had a number of favourites. George from the Famous Five. She was her own person. Katie from What Katie Did. Jo from the Chalet School and Jo March from Little Women. The Four Mary's from The Bunty comic.

Torchy the Battery Boy and Ma King Ping who had a show on Sundays late in the afternoons with scissor characters called Snip and Snap; she used to make things out of paper

Gin

Miss Virginia Bell from ‘TheBell Family’ by Noel Streatfeild Not as well known as her other characters the three ‘Ps’ in ‘Ballet Shoes’. She was naughty and misunderstood like me!

All Noel Streatfeild’s characters are good, but I think I like Petrova Fossil from Ballet Shoes best. She’s clever, a bit difficult, not a conventional girl.. There is a character rather like her in most of Streatfeild’s books, based on herself, I think.

I wanted to be Ann (with an E) of Green Gables, still do to be honest!

Juliet27

Georgina from Famous Five for me too.

Oh yes, I used to eagerly await a new Famous Five book!

Georgina from Famous Five for me too.
