What is your favourite childhood book/story...
 

...that you read or had read to you by a parent..?...

The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton

I still love that book:love:

..just Enid Blyton in general, Ruby/The Famous Five...all of those jolly, jolly sandwiches and ginger pop...Halcyon Days...:lovedup:..

I should've been in that world:(

..:laugh:...everybody should've been in that world, Ruby...

The Kama Sutra ..... Just kidding.

All Enid and Beatrix. Halcyon days indeed. :wavey:

Oh, later I graduated to Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, Moonfleet - I loved those adventure stories.

..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...

The Famous Five
The Secret Seven
Sweet Valley Series
Babysitters Club

What Katy Did....and What Katy Did Next

Then I loved Judy Bloom books

The Witches by Roald Dahl, I loved the Sweet Valley books as well josy

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.

Oh, and not to forget Anne of Green Gables and What Katy Did stories!!

..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...

Winne The Pooh

I loved Jacqueline Wilson books

..:lovedup:...

The naughtiest girl books:thumbs:

Charlottes Web too as well as the others I posted earlier

Another vote here for the Roald Dahl books. :love:

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:

Pretty much anything by Roald Dahl or to an extent Jacqueline Wilson.

Before Topsy and Tim there were Mark and Mandy!:spin:

Your favourite one no doubt:

My uncle got me a large collection of Winnie the Pooh books, colouring books and stationary after I learned how to read, I loved them all so much. :flutter: They were great books!

The what Katie did books and then Little Women as I hit my teens.

Fantastic Mr Fox. I loved all the Roald Dahl stories though.

I have just become in love with you :)

:blush:

Oh fossilised fish-hooks

Coooorrrrr-whuumph!

I wish I had a teacher that said that :)

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
