First loves...

Nabokov loved HG Wells at an early age, in adulthood he realized how great he wasn't, but still loved him because of that young love. This got me to thinking, who do I love solely because I loved them as a child? I have compiled a list, it goes as follows:

• The Little House on the Prairie series: although it was amazing to me as a child, as an adult, the writing is poor and the images are not as vivid as I remember them
• The Boxcar Children
• Cappy the Camel
