if you were a child in the 80's, what was your favourite book?

[IamAnIAMSgirl]

Hello all
I have been reserving library books to read to DS that I enjoyed as a child.

I was wondering if you would be so kind to re-jog my memory of more book by letting me know your favourite stories if you were a primary school child in this era.

Many thanks!

My dh says Tim and the hidden people series, mine were Black Beauty and The Railway Children.

The worst witch.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase

Charlotte's Web.

And there was one I loved called The Ghost and Bertie Boggin, about a boy who had a ghost living in his coal shed. But it's out of print now.

Charlottes web

Narnia
Enid Blyton - famous five etc
Magic Tollbooth

Those books which you could choose the next bit of the story.

The Belgariad by David Eddings. 5 books. My first dip into fantasy but I was obsessed with them.

The Ruby Ferguson Jill pony books, Sue Barton nurse books and Enid Blyton school stories (which one of mine now adores too)

We made my Mum read us The Hobbit over and over again. I loved anything Roald Dahl or Enid Blyton.

At the beginning of the 80's my favourite book was Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, but I was also a big fan of Herman Hesse, Cervantes' short stories and Shakespeare (I know I wasn't a very normal 10 -11 year old so better to ignore my suggestions )

Children of Green Knowe
Linnets and Valerians

I loved little house on the prairie and black beauty.

Oh and the Babysitters Club and and anything Judy Blume but that was probably more early 90s.

The Dark is rising. Wonderful book.

Anything by Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl - loved them all with a passion

The silver crown
The little prince and
water ship down
I also read the world according to carp and porterhouse blue but they're not so appropriate for kids

Chicken Lickin! I bloody loved that story!

Trying to remember all their names. Chicken Licken, Henny Penny, Turkey Lurky, Goosey Loosey, Foxy Loxy. I'm sure there were a few more...

Mrs Frisby and the rats of Nimh

All of the Narnia books, the Magic faraway tree and the Famous five

The l shaped room
Are you there God? It's me, Margaret

I loved the Naughty Amelia Jane books and Adventures of Mr Pink Whistle by Enid Blyton As I got older in the 80s it was anything by Roald Dahl.
