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

  • Surely Harry Potter and Percy Jackson as the two main series of my younger and early teenager years. I later moved on to Lord of the Rings and loved it as well. Before I started to read Harry Potter on my own around five or six, I also loved when my mother read the “Kleiner Ritter Trenk” books (I don’t know if there are English translations) and some Astrid Lindgren stories such as Pippi Langstrumpf and Michel aus Lönneberga (German translations) to me.

    For non-fiction… I loved the “Was ist Was?” books about anatomy (it’s an educational series of children books about different topics). And I remember a series for children about different scientists that I really enjoyed. The ones I loved the most were the Einstein, Mendel and Darwin ones.
