Favourite book or books as a child

White_Dragon

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

    Me too. I loved Malory Towers, when my friend came for sleepovers we would have a midnight feast with sweets and crisps. Also loved Famous Five. We'd go out in search of an unsolved mystery. We built a den in the local field and made it our secret hideout, you needed a password to get in. They were great times. I encourage my daughter to have this childhood although she's only six so it might be a few years yet but I really hope she will go and play outdoors.
