Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?
I was an avid reader as a child/Youth and read all the Enid Blyton stuff and I read the Hobbit at age 14 which made a big impression but the books that really stuck with me were Kes, Animal Farm, Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mocking Bird...........all books we studied at Secondary school.Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?

I read a lot as a child, Famous Five, Secret Seven, Just William and loved them all but I think the most inspirational book I read as a child was "Sailing alone around the world" by Joshua Slocum. Sadly not enough to make actually do it.Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?
SO many new books for children now and I'm at a loss of which are the most rewarding for 9 yrs old girls.Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?
I used to read the 'Just William' books, although I can't remember the story line of any of them now. I do remember the village name of 'Hadley' and and of course the character of Violet Elizabeth Bott who would threaten to, "Scream and scream until I'm sick!"Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?

My aunt gave me a copy of 'Jane Eyre' for my 12th birthday - my Mother said that I would never be able to read it, which was a good incentive for me to prove her wrong! It has been my favourite book ever since and has been read many, many times.Thread Tools | |
