This is a completely new one to me. I’ll look for it for my great niece. Thanks for responding to this thread, Cassandra!
I never knew that Ivanhoe was essentially Robin Hood! Now I must read Ivanhoe. Thanks for responding to this thread, Simplyhere.

Black Beauty was certainly a favorite that I read more than once. My mother also started buying the “Just William” series as a Christmas present for a few years. Those I loved.

I’ll need some clarification there - born in Pittsburgh, played college ball at Louisville. Not sure how Minnesota comes into the equation.
Now Tarkenton - there’s your great Minnesota QB - and probably the single most underrated QB in NFL history. Weird to call a Hall of Fame QB underrated - but he was so much better than most people think.
