My 18 year old daughter recently took them out of her bookshelf to make room for Uni stuff- boo hoo. Youngest daughter never took to them sadly, but eldest and I will take a Trixie roadtrip of the US one day!

This lead us to talking about our favourite books as kids and we decided that most kids today wouldn't like Trixie Beldon or the Famous Five.

My mum gave it to me and I asked which "story" I should read first, being used to Enid Blyton books of short stories. Mum explained that it was a book you were supposed to read from start to finish, and I was hooked! Absolutely loved Trixie and her tales, but secretly wanted to be like Honey, who was always pretty and never sweated. I read a lot of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, Famous Five and Secret Seven. I still have a ton of these in my bookshelf, ready to be shared with my little girl. Oh, and I read Sherlock Holmes like a rabid fan. I still do - I was reading it to Veggie Baby in utero!
