A Father's Day Question
Who is your favorite literary father? Atticus Finch? King Lear? Papa Bear? I am partial to Mr. Weasley from the Harry Potter books and the main character in Gilead.
The books I've read lately have lousy fathers... Doolittle Lynn (Loretta's husband), and the father in "The Color of Water". Can I just go back to the Bobbsey Twins of my childhood? They had a great father.

The Penderwick girls have a pretty neat dad.
