Your Old Favourites?

[scanty]

just curious as to what your favourite books were as a child. Some of mine:

The Greengables Books
Little House On The Prairie Series
little Women Series
What Katy Did Next Series
Mallory Towers Books
St Clares
All the Blyton Adventure Books
The Chalet School Series (did anyone else
read these?)
Ballet Shoes
Pollyanna
Paul Zindel's novels (anyone read these?)
Nancy Drew
Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Does anyone remember reading a trilogy about mice? The first book was about a load of mice living in a house, and their enemies were the rats in the sewers, and the main baddie was a big cat that ruled over the rats??
They were quite scary books.
I loved them but cant remember name or author!

Thanks folks, this is great and reminding me off many I had forgotten like the Angela Brazil books and the Saddler Wells series! Other boarding school books were the Trebizon series by Anne Digby, I think.

Does anyone remember some SCI-FI books (set of 3 perhaps) about tripods or something, the hero was a young boy fighting against them? The authors first name might have been Christofer.

And the Drina books too!

I never had Trebizon and the Drina books (am too old)but DD1 loves them both - and actually I really enjoyed reading them too.
I also loved Rosemary Sutcliff (Eagle of the Ninth etc) and Henry Treece - my favourite was Hounds of the King.

Scanty, I think they were just called the Tripods, the BBc did an adaptation of the first one or two, but then never bothered with the last.

John Christopher - I liked the Tripods books too - weren't they set in some kind of post-nuclear future? Or am I getting them mixed up with something else?

ha, I was driving earlier and suddenly the name John Cristopher leapt to mind, thanks. Yip, think it was some some kind of post nuclear future.

I loved Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea and Malory Towers

All the Noel Streatfeilds
All the Just Williams
Tom's Midnight Garden
The Midnight Folk
The Little Wooden Horse
Gobbolino the Witches Cat
Alice in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass
Little Women et al
The Mary Plain series
C S Lewis
Alan Garner
The tree that sat down et al

Takver - yes I seem to remember that treacle featured quite heavily, although the details now escape me. I think he also had a servant called Old Monkey.

The first two books are still in print; my DS really loved them!
