Favourite Book as a Kid?

What was one of your favourite books when you were a kid?

One I remember enjoying was - Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild.

Enid Blyton books were my favourites, I really enjoyed the stories. I have bought a few for my granddaughter to read and she enjoys them too.

Rainbow, it's difficult to narrow down, but if you insist: The Jungle Book, Wind in the Willows. But that's leaving out Kim, Swallows and Åmazons, The Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie series, Girl of the Limberlost ........ many many more!

Re: Favourite Book as a Kid?

Two of my favourite books are Shadow the Sheepdog and one called Black Bob (also about a sheepdog) but I don't remember who wrote them.
I also agree with Dandysmom there are so many, but The Jungle Books (1 and 2), Wind in the Willows, the Kipling Just So Stories and Williamson's Tarka the Otter are unforgetable.

Re: Favourite Book as a Kid?

Hey Aerola! You should check out Amazon. Ther's a real nice Black Bob collection available.

The book I remember as a kid was DH Lawrences "Lady Chatterleys lover". Never actually read it, just unlined the "dirty bits" in a well dog eared copy to impress other kids in the playground. It did wonders to increase my "cool" in the eyes of school mates...until it got confiscated by a teacher and I got yet another beating !

Re: Favourite Book as a Kid?

Thanks Mr Mojo, I never thought to look. I seem to remember the Black Bob books were produced in a sort of comic format and so were very easy for kids to read.

I love comics, read 'em all the time! Well, except when I'm not of course!
