(see Discussion)


As a big fan of Frances, the main character in the Russell Hoban children's books, I created this space for all people, kids and adults, who love the Frances books. As a parent of a two year old I have read Frances books many, many, many (is that enough manys?) times and each time I read them I am amused and amazed by the great dialogue and themes. I'm sharing my favorite parts of the stories and invite everybody to share their own favorite things about Frances as well. You can also participate in discussions of Frances topics by clicking on the "Discussion" tab above. The Discussion changes every week and always revolves around the quote at the top of this homepage.
