5 Children and It.  The Magic Faraway Tree

I agree The Magic Faraway Tree when I was in low single figures. After that intial interest I loved every book I read, but in particular the classics like Black Beauty.

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in my teens (still a favourite).

I loved the Jill books by Ruby Ferguson. Jill had two ponies, a stable for Jill. There are more but I can't remember the titles. Anyone looking for books for Christmas have a look at the book people. I am getting The Tiger Who came to Tea, for some little ones I know. A lovely story.

Another vote for 'The owl who was afraid of the Dark'

I think I still have it though I'm busy getting rid of my childhood books...lots of horse stories!

Other favourites were Fairytales, fables, myths and Legends from around the world...not one book lots of different books. Really handy for general knowledge quiz's now.

Enid Blyton Famous five and seven

Paddington Bear....Michael Bond

Heidi

The Hobbit introduced to me by my sister-in-law when I was about 9.

Have any of you elderly people out there heard of the Pookie series of books?

The only one I had was 'Pookie put the world right'.  I loved it.

Christmas wasn't Christmas without a Rupert Book. But ther again I'm a simple soul.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Oooooo I forgot Helen Keller - I loved that story.  And Watership Down, I still read it now and I still  :'( when Hazel dies!
What I lack in ability and experience, I make up for in sheer enthusiasm!!!

Oh I forgot Rupert..of course he is Johns rather than mine but he has a huge collection of Rupert stuff, a whole Rupert room actually and annuals going back to 1947 still trying for the older ones but the price is unreal.
