What were your favourite books as a child?

I work with kids and they don`t seem to read much, so I wondered what books you liked when you were growing up, so I can maybe introduce one or two.
Thanks!

Moby Dick, . . . depends on what age they are Claire, I was 10 when I first read it, . . a cracking tale so it is.

I used to like Enid Blyton books as a child and I introduced my 8 year old granddaughter to them last year as she also loves reading.

Re: What were your favourite books as a child?

me too! My father always encouraged us to read, and not just fiction. He brought home books on mythology, ancient religions, nature and loads more.

I always have a few books on the go and try to have at last one non-fiction. Trying to keep the old brain in gear and active
