Chris,
You've listed more I enjoy! I was going to mention
What Katy Did the first time, but they aren't in my 'all time favourites, tho I did enjoy them, so I thought my list was long enough.

And you've reminded me of
Little House on the Prairie as well, another series I really enjoyed!
Just been to read the link you posted, it was actually very enlightening. Thanks.
Loriel (who now wants to head home to read Narnia instead of going to see X-men 2 with friends!)
