I just loved to read about them and Nancy Drew and the mischief these children indirectly got into and yet sustained their innocence throughout. So I never thought about them getting older. The realism of each story was the point, not the age of the character. I never think of Nancy getting older and wiser. As for adults in a series, I think of the characters as maybe advancing in their storylines, but I don’t think of them having birthdays and “ aging” such as we do in life. I guess I read for the sake of living in a fantasy world that in no way parallels the facts in my life with all its ups and downs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854621617972289231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-81636804647577604982018-04-03T11:22:22.267-04:002018-04-03T11:22:22.267-04:00When you first read a book in a series you have an...When you first read a book in a series you have an idea in your mind of how they look.<br />As you keep reading along the same person pops into your head.<br />For instance, Hercule Poirot, Miss Jane Marple, and Father Brown to name a few.<br />Looking forward to reading Veronica's books.<br />Janet E.<br />von1janet(at)gmail(dot)comLibrary Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04453047929043510049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-68597162900317759462018-04-03T10:15:27.950-04:002018-04-03T10:15:27.950-04:00Until your question, Veronica, I don't think I...Until your question, Veronica, I don't think I even considered it. Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot--I don't think they aged, did they? Maybe other readers never wonder at the age permanence, either. Especially if the protagonist is of a certain age, you'd almost certainly have to phase him or her out eventually, which would be a shame if they were still entertaining readers.Trish Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983379845476025642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-34870144115536653112018-04-02T21:45:54.120-04:002018-04-02T21:45:54.120-04:00Age to me does not matter unless it’s a progressiv...Age to me does not matter unless it’s a progressive book series.<br />tumcsec(at)gmail(dot)comGail H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07185778152672877614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-51879098070395347592018-04-02T19:44:43.457-04:002018-04-02T19:44:43.457-04:00I personally prefer the characters in a series to ...I personally prefer the characters in a series to age a bit so it's a little more realistic. Most books don't dwell too much on the age of the characters, leaving it a bit vague, so it really doesn't matter. I haven't read any of Veronica's books but I do love a good cozy mystery so will have to check out her books.
