Not sure if we've had this question before or not...I'm not a big reader but I was into Roald Dahl and loved 'Danny, Champion of the World'. Having re-read it again in the last year, I still found it to be a read that was touching and poignant but amusing as well.

Grimms fairy tales, i read it over and over, the copy i had was my mums which had been past down and it was so old, i think it fell to bits, Bow

I remember that one of my favourites was 'Anne of Green Gables'

I used to love reading the HEIDI books

Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Secret Seven books. Tricia

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Famous five books.

Enid Blyton Chalet school series Black Beauty and my comic, which when i was very young ,was called ''Sunny stories'' jess

The Railway Children I could weep now just thinking of the end! Debby

i loved treasure island,or anything to do with pirates. i also used to read my sister's 'school friend' but dont tell anyone :o) bryan.

Bryan What about Kidnapped? I remember reading that - it belonged to my brother but I didn't like it as it was set in the past LOL! Debby

Enid Blyton Just Five series Billy Bunter the Owl of the remove stories. Enid Blyton Sally the sealyham series Shirley

yes debbie,thats another one! anything with a picture of a pirate on the cover would do for me :o) bryan.

I loved all of Enid Blyton books, and would devour the famous five, secret seven, the marlory tower series. Read them over and over again. I then enjoyed the Abbey series, but i cant remember who wrote those.

I loved the book 'Born Free' read it whenever I could and a family friend bought me a copy in 1967 its in my bookcase. Still have the occasional read.

Oh yes, I used to have Sunny stories when very young. Favourite books were first, Any Enid Blyton, when quite young I loved The Magic faraway Tree, And annuals, when young Rupert, Chicks Own, mabel lucy Attwell Then School Friend, Girls crystal, Girl. then later The famous Five and Secret seven Black Beauty Ballet Shoes Then a bit older Swallows and Amazons and all that series (leaving EB behind now) Little Women, Little men and Jo's Boys Ann of green Gables Chalet School series Abbey School books mallory towers What Katy Did and did Next Secret Garden I read anything and everything and still do.

Couldn't pick ONE book. I enjoyed The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and also a book about a little girl who could shrink and visit her dolls in their doll's house - there was a rag doll called Lupin, a painted wooden doll called Jane and a rather snooty doll called Vanessa. Also vaguely remember a story with children foiling some criminals, involving a boy called Conrad? Think it was by Catherine Storr. And The Otterbury Incident by Cecil Day Lewis. I could think of tons more if I tried!

abbey School books were by Elsie J Oxenham, I am not sure but she may have written the Chalet school books too. Ann glos

An Nell The Otterbury Incident - forgotten all about that one! And The Secret Sword? Not to mention Miss Pepperpot or was it Mrs? Debby

Mine was Out with Romany by Ben evans it had me full of imagination Howardxx
