For the apostrophe-minded, Fathers Day is a minefield. As you see, I have decided for an apostropheless celebration - I think it's a day of fathers, rather than belonging to one (Father's) or many (Fathers')...Anyway - for Our Vicar, and all the other fathers reading, have a great day!
To celebrate the occasion - whom do you think is the best father in literature? I don't really mean the one I enjoy reading about the most, but rather the character who is the best father to his child/ren. If it were the former, I'd plump for Mr. Woodhouse from Emma, but he couldn't be described as a good parent... nor, indeed, could many of Austen's literary parents.
So, have a think. I'm going to ponder on it, and see what I think...
Or just comment on fathers in literature as you wish!
