You know what I also like for that? Enid Blyton and all her "Five do this and that" books. Georgie, the quintessential young butch girl, and her dog, whose name I shamefully forget. Man, that's a Wikipedia search coming up.

Ha! Here's a great quote about her, from Wikipedia: "By one measure, Blyton is the sixth most popular author worldwide: over 3400 translations of her books are available in 2007 according to UNESCO's Index Translationum;[1] she is behind Lenin and almost equal to Shakespeare." I don't know what is better -- Blyton is almost equal to Shakespeare, or Shakespeare is behind Lenin, in terms of translations.

Wikipedia to the rescue, as always: George (Georgina, but you'd better not call her that), Julian, Dick, Anne, and Timmy the dog. Awesome. I may need to Amazon.com some of those out-of-print ex-library editions.
