Click here to listen to a radio tribute to the central character of one my childhood favourite books, Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh. I think that I'm overdue for a reread of this one.

About Me
My Book!
My second collection of short stories, All In Together Girls, is now available in Canada, the U.S., the UK, and most other places where English language books are sold. You can buy it at your local bookstore, or order it from online retailers such as McNally Robinson, Amazon, Chapters/Indigo, Powell's, or The Book Depository. You can also borrow it from a number of public and university libraries in Canada and the U.S. Check with your local library to see if they have it, and please encourage them to buy it if they don't!

Oh my gosh, I loved this book beyond all imagining - and that was back in the 60's when it first came out. I'm so glad that children continued reading it and loving it :)
My girlfriend and I had Harriet notebooks we carried around writing copiously into - much to the chagrin of one other friend, who was the subject of much of our writing. Nasty little girls, weren't we?
Thanks for sharing this...
Gee, I was just thinking about Harriet the other day (wonder what kind of woman Harriet grew up to be?). Anyway, I loved that book. I'm way overdue on a reread too.
I was obsessed with this book as a child, I had it on a virtual permanent loan from the library. And I started a notebook too; I dread to think what happened to it.
Go Harriet! I loved it before, but based on this review, I think it's time to read it again.
