Yes, yes, yes to Dicey, and Frog and Toad, and for that matter, to Peter Rabbit. And Stauffacher's Franklin Delano Donuthead is a real character.

Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control. -Cyril Connolly, critic and editor (1903-1974)
A closed mind is like a closed book: just a block of wood. -Chinese Proverb

I loved Arriety as a child, too. Dicey from Homecoming and Dicey's Song. Lyra, of course, and then there's Will. Sue Stauffacher's Harry Sue. And even more recently, Kristin Cashore's Katsa from Graceling. And I know it's a short story and not a novel, but Eleanor Farjeon's indomitable Elsie Piddock from Elsie Piddock Skips in her Sleep may top them all.
