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

  • Stormbringer is a good entry to his work. I have had a number of conversations with Mike, online and in person. His work is very extensive, from sword and sorcery to dissections of 20th century history in novel form. He also has had connections with various rock groups, such as Hawkwind and Blue Öyster Cult, writing lyrics and performing with.
