The first role a dice books, can't remember what they were called, fantasy fiction type jobby.

Definitely, the Faraway Tree stories - just bought a hardback 3 in one special from WH Smiths for £4.99 - will be used for bedtime stories for dd - as she is only 6 months - I think I will have to wait.

Dogger!!!!!

Still makes me all emotional!!!

oh yes, i remember those fighting fantasy type books

Angela Brazil anyone?

and of course the wonderful Chalet School books ......

and the Pullein-Thomson horsey ones !!!

I have just re-read th Little House on the Prarie books in the right order and they are still fantastic now. I remember being terrified by her description of a wolf that stood as tall as her as I was the same age!

Heidi
What Katy Did
Enid Blyton )anything by her between about 8 and 11)
Little Women

And the sequels to these

But my favourite? Anne of Green Gables

I ahve all these put back for my daughters.

So I had three sosn.

And two nephews.

Oh what a fantastic thread! I remember mty childhood books far better than anything I read now!
My list includes:
The Little House on the Prairie series too (have read them all about 50 times!)
Swallows and Amazons series
Carbonel by Barbara Sleigh (no longer seems to be in print but bought it secondhand for extortionate amount the other day so ds can read it)
Will think of more....

aaahh A Little Princess. I haven't thought of that in years.

ALso I used to have a book about fairies and trolls in woodland. I cannot remember what it was called, but I adored it.
