I posted a while back that I always wanted to be the witch in The Witch of Blackbird Pond, so I'll stick with that, although I'm not sure how "literature-y" that book is. :)<BR/><BR/>Or I'd maybe like to be one of the elves in Lord of the Rings. They had terrific places to live. Hmmmm . . . or the dad in Swiss Family Robinson - he knew everything & they also had a cool place to live.

I've never really wished to be anyone other than myself.<BR/><BR/>But had I to choose, I agree with your choices of Harry Potter & Lucy from the Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. I adore fantasy books and I might even add here Winnie the Pooh has always been one of my favourites, so I might even enjoy a stint in his shoes.<BR/><BR/>Enjoying your blog as usual, thanks for these thought provoking posts.
