It's Gransnet World Book Day....

Haha juliette I'd be Scarlett O'Hara. Lots of wide swishing skirts, off-the-shoulder dresses and men falling at my feet. And I'd have the change to be feisty too, see!

Actually, I'd be Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird.

chance not change! I really don't have my typing fingers today.

Alice in Wonderland-and I have just found my long lost copy of The Annotated Alice.
Mind you, you'd be hard pushed to see anyone look less like her than me!
Perhaps I should be the White Rabbit, totally covered up!

My first feminist hero - Nancy Blackett, of Swallows and Amazons. Don't think I'd be very convincing though!

I would be Mr Bennett. I have a lot of sympathy for his dislike of "comings and goings".

Venetia by Gergette Heyer

The Mouse from The Gruffalo, he epitomises the triumph of brain over brawn.

Tori, from the book of that name. Out into the Wild West with the wagon train!

Mrs Tiggywinkle- my first feminist role model!

Oh boy, that's got me thinking. I'll have to get back to you on that one. So many to choose from.

I think I should have to be Lucia from the Mapp and Lucia books, although part of me would really like to be The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Forever Amber - my first racy novel.

Dona St Columb from Frenchman's Creek. Who wouldn't want to live in a beautiful part of Cornwall and fall in love with a daring pirate?

Jo March from Little Women. My first feminist role model.

I fancy being an animal of some kind. Peter Rabbit or Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.

I would be the story-teller from The Thousand and One Arabian Nights.

Ariadne Oliver from Poirot....I could wear exotic clothes and write novels. I don't think I could be quite as rude though!

I think I'd be Scarlett O'Hara too, as she got things done/got her own way, by sheer guts or guile.
Jo March would be a close second.

I would like to dress as Granny from Gangsta Granny, all in black with the balaclava and mobility scooter.
GD loves this story and it set her off wondering whether her Grandma had jewels hidden in a tin. We went through the house and found an old box in the bottom of a wardrobe, lo and behold it was full of necklaces and bracelets. She thought it was the story come true and I was surprised at the forgotten jewellery find

I've just realised that I don't need to dress up at all. The giveaway book I received last week "I Love My Granny", has a granny that looks exactly like me according to my dgs, and he's right, even down to the pink specs!

I'll dress as Precious Ramwotse then I can wear really colourful dresses, a turban (to cover my messy hair) and I can eat whatever I like because I will be Traditionally Built
(and I will always solve all the mysteries!)

But first I must learn to spell my name:

Precious Ramotswe

you will have to drink that horrible "tea".

I'd be Laura Ingalls (before she became Wilder) or Arrietty from The Borrowers. Both feisty girls.
There don't seem to be many book heroines of seventy.
