..Treasure Island was a bit of a funny one4 for me..although I was totally absorbed in the story/adventure..Blind Pugh and the Black Spot were something that gave me nightmares/like a 'boogeyman' thing..I absolutely adored the story of Robinson Crusoe and also the Mark Twain stories of Tom Sawyer and good old Huck....

...Roald Dahl was an absolute genius the way he related to children's imaginations..I would probably say that he's my favourite children's author of all time...

I loved the Enid Blyton school stories, the Ruby Ferguson "Jill" pony stories...the Willard Price adventures, Just William, Jennings and Darbishire...

Can you tell I was a bookworm? Still am, and still LOVE to re-read these from my childhood.

..one of the great things about working in a school is that you still get to listen to all of these stories when the children read them...

James and the giant peach
The secret seven
and a one nobody has probably even heard of, I'm pretty sure I was very young maybe 5 or 6 and the book was called The adventures of binkle and flip and it was about 2 rabbits. I adored that book

My dad used to read me the Illiad. He wouldn't read it straight out the book as a poem just tell me the story in his own way lol
