Fictional Father Favourites

    Father's Day has been and gone for another year. My own father and father-in-law have now been dead for some years but nevertheless they were in the forefront of my mind when the day dawned.

    With the commercialism of the day hard to escape, I started to think about fictional fathers and role models in some of the books I've read. I came up with this list of my favourite ones, yeah, some aren't perfect, but like any father or male role model in real life they have an important part to play.

• Mr. Bennett     - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 
• Robert March - Little Women by Louisa M Alcott
• Atticus Finch  - To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
• Clay Spencer  -  Spencer's Mountain by Earl Hamner
• Bob Cratchett -  Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
• Mr. Micawber-  David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
• Charles Ingalls- Little House by Laura Ingalls Wilder 
• George Bailey - The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern  

   How about you, do you have any fictional favourites that come to mind?
