..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....

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe......this was the first book i bought from a Church book sale:)

The Twits:grin2:

...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...

..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

Topsy & Tim tbh.

My favourite was when they went to get new shoes. :love:
