Having a discussion today with my teens (15 - 20) and realised that many books I loved as a youngster, they haven't read. I have 2 prolific readers, both had sets of books and styles they loved and I tried to steer them to ones I liked but had no joy when they were younger. Now they have decided want to read them and I should have pushed what I liked on them!
I'm in my 40's and I am thinking of books I read in primary and preteen, nothing written in last 20 years. These are what I have come up with so far (I'm going to get them for christmas presents)
Tom's Midnight Garden
Secret Garden
Little Women & sequels
Wind in the Willows
Great Expectations
Alice in Wonderland
Black Beauty
Peter Pan
Can anyone help remind me of other books that I may have read, I know I read loads or any I didn't read but should have
