I loved Encyclopedia Brown. I wanted to be him. And have what's-her-name for a girlfriend....
I think my fave was when he had a submarine! Yep, he bought a captured Japanese midget sub at an auction. (Although I remember thinking at the time that his method of winning the auction would never work.)
