Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?
My first novel was 'Ivanhoe' (Sir Walter Scott), a Christmas gift from an Aunt. I thought it was wonderful and was convinced Ivanhoe should have married Rebecca instead of Rowena. Four weeks later the same Aunt gave me 'The Hobbit' (Tolkien) for my 5th birthday - and I have been hooked on Tolkien ever since. Was quite indignant when our library would not let me take out 'Lord of the Rings' because it was in the adult section - had to drag my Dad there to sign it out for me!Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?
Re: Which childhood book made you look at life differently?
I love reading and am a real bookworm. As a child my favorite books were Robinson Crusoe and the Swiss Family Robinson and Children of the New Forest. I remember one book and aunt bought me one Christmas and I read it so many times I knew it off by heart it was called King of the Golden River.
