Listener letters - Children's LiteratureFriday 30 January 2004
Last week Woman's Hour discussed your favourite female characters from children's literature. We asked you to email us with your favourite heroines and what sort of future you envisgaed for them.

Today we hear who inspired you - from the sickly Mary in Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden to ever-popular tomboy, George, in Enid Blyton's The Famous Five series.
