I posted earlier, but it didn't take at that time all I could think of were childrens' book characters Poppleton and Cherry Sue and their friends from the Poppleton series. They eat lots of desserts, go to the shore, lie out under the stars, go sailing, throw birthday parties for each other and go on horse-drawn sleigh rides at midnight. Good times. I also thought of Mole and Rat from Wind in the Willows. Really charming question, I thought, Jean-Luc!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12535495.post-91696084896427329852008-07-13T21:45:00.000+01:002008-07-13T21:45:00.000+01:00Susan from any of the Discworld novels by Pratchet...Susan from any of the Discworld novels by Pratchett.

Not Angela Landsbury, good one!<BR/><BR/>I would pick Edward from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (writer of The Host) because who couldn't use an uber-powerful vampire friend that won't eat you now and again? Plus, he's got old-world manners and charm.<BR/><BR/>I would also go back to my teen years and pick Raistlin, from those old D&D books, because who couldn't use a powerful mage, and nevermind he's sorta kinda evil....<BR/><BR/>But, I'd also pick Merlin from T.H. White's Once Upon a Future King, because he was an excellent teacher and I'd love to learn the way 'Wart' did.<BR/><BR/>I'd pick Odd Thomas, from Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas books, because he's so simple and honest and interesting (plus he hangs with the ghost of Elvis).<BR/><BR/>And now I realize I need some chick friends, you know, to shop with.<BR/>Oh dear, I'll have to get back to you on that.Lahdeedahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310770349703287189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12535495.post-35093374928621133012008-07-12T15:32:00.000+01:002008-07-12T15:32:00.000+01:00well i know who it would NOT be, angela landsbury ...well i know who it would NOT be, angela landsbury because everywhere she goes somebody gets murdered! ha ha<BR/><BR/>what about nancy drew? or<BR/>ayla in clan of the cave bears<BR/><BR/><BR/>smiles, bee<BR/>xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12535495.post-31372362248669862612008-07-12T13:27:00.000+01:002008-07-12T13:27:00.000+01:00I would pick Merry and Pippin from The Lord of The...I would pick Merry and Pippin from The Lord of The Rings some time after their adventures in the books were done.
