I think it was called Roger Redhat. There was another called Jennifer Yellowhat.

They were not great books, but gotta start somewhere I suppose :)

According to my mother it was "Das Kleine Puttiputt" - it was a child's book in German about a little chick. I have always been an avid reader and, even way back then, I read a lot. My brother and I were not allowed much television and we developed our crafting skills and reading. We are also bilingual in German and French. He is great at Spanish and I learned Latin too. I mention this because, from an early age, we were expected to read often. Lucky we both love to read!

"Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein turned me into a sci-fi/fantasy nut. In fact, I would consider "Stranger in a Strange Land" to be the greatest science fiction story ever written, while "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien is the greatest fantasy, no, the greatest book ever written.
