Hey, Gwen, do an author search for Carrie Bender (she is an Amish writer), and Martha Finley and L. M. Montgomery. They write books like this and I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them right now. There is Heidi, Heidi grows up, and Heidi's children also. I'm drawing a blank as to others but maybe others can refresh my memory. As to Nancy Drew, look under the author Carolyn Keene or Kene--not sure on spelling. Hope this helps. Have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: gwen tweedy To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 10:35 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] speaking of classics What other books are there besides the little house books to read just like those I'd be interested if somebody knows please and thank you.
