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

  • I just had to answer this thread. I love books and I love reading. It’s my favourite hobby and I sometimes spend hours reading until I get eye strain. I still have every book I had from my childhood, some I still read now every now and then, others are a little too worn to read ever again without them falling to pieces!

    My favourites from my childhood.

    The BFG.

    Harry Potter.

    The Book Thief.

    A Series of Unfortunate Events.

    Skulduggery Pleasant.

    Darren Shan Saga.

    The Secret Garden.

    The Magic Key.

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

    Twilight.

    The Night Circus.

    The Starless Sea.

    Matilda.

    James and the Giant Peach.
