First Love Affair My first love affair did not involve a member of the opposite sex, and it had nothing to do with the forbidden territory of same sex attractions. Such things, in my youth, were barely whispered about. I didn’t have a crush on a movie star, and I certainly didn’t fancy any of my schoolteachers or distant cousins, even the ‘kissing’ cousin variety. None of the above: no, my first love affair had absolutely nothing to do with sex at all. I simply fell victim to an undying infatuation with books. The very first book I can remember was made of brown linen that was indestructible, at least in the hands of a toddler. It was an ABC book in bright colours with no more than six or eight pages. I couldn’t have been much more than three when that treasure came into my life. I loved that book as much as I loved my teddy bear and my stuffed dog “Rags.” I think I loved them all more than my parents. And yes, I took them By Maryleah Otto, Gravenhurst • from Daytripping Nov-Dec 2013 to bed to hold close to me all night long. I suppose I actually learned the alphabet from that funny old book. The linen became soft and crumpled, the edges slightly frayed in time. Some of the pictures faded, but I loved the book all the more. It was still among my dearest possessions by the time I was ready for school. In first grade I was introduced to a very different book, one called Mary, John and Peter, the standard primary reader for Ontario schoolchildren during the 1930s. I can’t say I was intrigued by the colourless, boring story of these three forgettable moppets, but at least I learned to read. Meantime, at Christmas and on my birthday, kindly aunts gave me copies of When We Were Very Young by A. A. Milne and later Swiss Family Robinson and Robinson Crusoe, or Blackie’s Girls’ Annual, a marvelous compendium of exciting if proper tales of young girls, as well as some poems, pictures and trivia. These books came from England and they were hugely popular. There was, of course, a Blackie’s Boys’ Annual too. But no one ever gave me that. Welcome to ... Sometime during the second or third grade, our teacher led us all in a line to the local public library where we were allowed to buy, for a dime, a library card of our very own. Oh joy of joys! A whole library full of wonders and delights! I read Black Beauty, Beautiful Joe, Heidi, Little Women, Pollyanna, The Water Babies and countless other children’s classics. And every Saturday morning, the librarian, a beautiful Irish woman with flaming red hair and green eyes, Miss Isobel O’Brien, took a group of us into the story room where we sat on carpeted steps in front of a real log fire and listened to myths, legends and folktales from all over the world and all periods of history. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! When I was about twelve, I discovered series books. It wasn’t Nancy Drew— perhaps I was ahead of those—but it was a series called Grace Harlowe and Her Overland Riders. The heroine, usually up in the saddle of her favorite horse, galloped through almost every state in the Union. The books were American, triumphing over ‘the bad guys.’ Not surprisingly, she had a boyfriend, Hippy, who came to be not only the heroine’s romantic attachment, but mine too. After all, I was on the cusp of puberty! These novels cost 25 cents each and I saved every penny and nickel I could to buy Come In & Eat With Us! THE Club the next in the series. I think there were at least a dozen of them. I lined them all up on a bookshelf in our living room and admired the effect greatly. A couple of years later, we moved to a different house, and my mother took a notion to give away my precious books. She knew I had read them so no doubt she thought I wouldn’t miss them. But I did! I still do! I don’t think I ever really forgave her. High school English courses brought my introduction to Shakespeare, the great poets of England, and Latin classics. Even struggling with the Latin text, I was moved, sometimes to tears, by the beauty of the story and the language. My favorite was Virgil’s Aeneid. When I entered university, I chose to study the literature of France and Germany. Once again, my mind and heart were opened to wonders beyond my wildest imagination. I think the ending of my little story is predictable. Yes, I became a librarian and a writer. Both have brought me continued joy and a sense of fulfillment. Books still sit on the night table beside my bed. No need for sleeping pills when a fine new novel can be cracked open and savoured until the eyelids grow heavy and sleep is only a few more seconds away. And to think that it all started with a linen ABC book many many decades ago. Every Wednesday is Senior's Day.
