Confession time! Tell us your literary sins to win an entire set of 20 Puffin Classics

I haven't read The Call of the Wild, Tom Sawyer, King Arthur, Huckleberry Finn, The Odyssey, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. I have read the rest.

And I too wonder why this isn't in the children's books section.

The only one I have not read is the odyssey..but my childhood was spent with my head in a book! I had forgotten how much I loved call of the wild until reading this! Want to read it again

I've only read Heidi on the list! Started Little Women a couple of years ago and lost interest.

I've never read Anne of Green Gables, may still do so one day - roll n Grandchildren!

My DF used to be a great reader but would buy me classics like Treasure Island that were enough to put an eight year old off reading for life. I used to try and bluff it out that I had read them so that I could get back to Enid Blyton and Malory Towers

I absolutely love books, but for some reason, I never did get round to reading the following (very likely 'cause I saw the movie, and therefore felt I got the story that way) --> King Arthur, The Jungle Book, Black Beauty, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, The Odyssey, A Little Princess, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, The Wind in the Willows, Treasure Island, Heidi, Peter Pan, Little Women, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

... actually, that's WAY too many - literary shame, alright! And the ironic thing is that I still have my own copy of Little Women, The Jungle Book, and one of the Black Beauty sequels sitting in a cupboard somewhere.

Gosh I'm ashamed to say that most of these titles are actually television series to me! I've never read Heidi but remember being glued to the 80s TV series. Same with Wind in the Willows. I know the story really well from a beautiful animated film from the 80s (I even have it on DVD!) but despite being a self-confessed bookworm I've not read either!

There are a few there I haven't read, but I think the only one that I would claim to have read that I haven't is The Jungle Book... I'm not sure I've read the full, grown up versions of Black Beauty or The Wizard of Oz either. Have definitely read at least the abridged versions of those, though!

I haven't read The Call of the Wild, Tom Sawyer, King Arthur, The Jungle Book, Black Beauty, The Odyssey, A Little Princess, Journey to the Centre of the Earth or Treasure Island, eek!

I've never read Little Women, but I can pretend I know a lot about it because I've seen the film

Also haven't read The Call of the Wild, Anne of Green Gables, The Little Princess, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Peter Pan or Heidi. That would be due to the power cuts.

Hmm, I've read a few of them as a child but I haven't read:

The Call of the Wild, King Arthur, The Jungle Book, Anne of Green Gables, The Odyssey, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, or Peter Pan.

I'll look forward to reading quite a few of them again with my daughters.

I think I'm quite well read really but definitely haven't read The Odyssey or Journey to the Centre of the Earth. We did Call of the Wild at school although I'm not sure I could tell you anything about it now...

I've never read Heidi but I could hum the theme tune...?

I read Wind in the Willows to DS when he was a baby (and realised I'd not read it before) but when I got to the bit with the weasels it was really scary so I missed that bit out. PFB much...he was less than 6 months old

Weird teaching methods practised during the seventies: Issue a copy of a classic book to each child and pick on the slowest most unconfident readers to read a page at a time out loud to the other 39 children in the class in order to humiliate them and torture the good readers who were NOT ALLOWED TO TURN THE PAGE UNTIL EVERYONE HAS FINISHED.
We never did get to the end of Tom Sawyer.

I'm embarrassed to say that out of all those fantastic books I've only read Alice in Wonderland. How terrible us that! I own The wizard of Oz but only had it at Christmas & nit read it yet!

I have never read Heidi, despite getting it out of the library 6 times! Just never got round to it. :) Xxxx

'Black Beauty,' though I do seem to remember there was a good 1970s telly adaptation? I don't think that's such a bad thing or a boy to admit, surely?

I have not read The Call of the Wild, Tom Sawyer, King Arthur, Huckleberry Finn, The Odyssey, or Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
Does it count that I have seen most of the films??
Have downloaded The Call of the Wild onto my Kindle.

Heidi, Black Beauty, The Wind in the Willows,& Treasure Island bring back some wonderful childhood memories. I must have been deprived, sob,sob as I'm ashamed to admit Ive never read The Call of the Wild, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, which I hope to remedy. .

I think I'm too old to have read many of them (books were in a bit short supply when I was growing up) but have read some to my grandchildren and what a lovely way to keep them amused!

I think I've read about three of those but I've seen the films to more so that counts doesn't it? I'm not completely uneducated!

I think I've read about half of them, or more likely had them read to me by my dad - we certainly got through some of them in our bedtime story days (it was Lord of The Rings that finally put paid to our evening ritual - we were both exhausted by the end!)

Some of them I'd love to read to my daughter when she's older - I'm hoping she'll want to continue the bedtime story thing for a long time yet.

Not sure I've even heard of The Call of the Wild....

I've read most of these over the years, but not King Arthur, Peter Pan or Journey to the Centre of the Earth. These new editions look lovely and I would love to win them please :)

Don't recall reading any of these which is a bit embarrassing to admit, will add to my must read list and download onto my kindle for my holiday
