I forgot about those!  Those are wonderful stories.  I read all of them.  In
fact, I'm pretty sure I read them before I discovered A Wrinkle In Time.  I
like the Anne of Green Gables stories, too, but didn't discover them as
books until I had seen the movie (which is excellent) about 10 years ago.  I
also like Harry Potter - hope they do justice to the movie.

Thank you for the link, Kakki.  I never knew anything about what happened to
her until now.  Too bad she was "rescued"!

This is a great story!  How amazing that you read so many books!
