[quote=Django;16978]We had all her books growing up. My mother read and loved them all as a kid so much she named my sister Laura. Im looking forward to telling her about this thread and the originals being at the DPL.

I thought this thread was going to be about a lone house on an empty block in Detroit.[/quote]

Same here, Django. That's why I didn't read it for a couple of days. Glad I finally did! I'd love to know where they lived in Detroit.
