Favourite book or books as a child

Hi all,

Sorry if this question has already been asked in the forums. I was thinking about some of the books I enjoyed and treasured from my childhood, what are some of the books that are stand out to you?

Fiction books - pre teenage years - Fantastic Mr Fox (I was obsessed with this book, no idea why really?), Frog & Toad, there was also a scratch and sniff book about a country mouse, day of a dog written like a diary, Teenage years - Dragonlance books & Lord of the Rings

Non fiction - pre teenage years - not sure of the title but it was a big book on dinosaurs, used to love copying drawings of them, various historical books about ancient civilisations, I can't recall their names but used to like get them from the library. Teenage years - Normans...always had a big thing for the Normans, more Roman stuff really.

Would love to hear about some of the books that you remember with fondness

  • You have just literally (almost) sent me down a rabbit hole.

    I remember a Brer Rabbit book I loved.

    I believe it wasn't Enid Blyton but rather Joel Chandler Harris.

    We didn't have much money for books so a lot of mine were from the library.

    I remember being very sad having to give them back.

    That library was wonderful - a Carnegie with Art Nouveau glass and lovely dark wooden fittings.

    Nice thread - thank you.
