Sunny Stories by Enid Blyton, from 1950 and I still have it!

I loved Treasure Island!

The first book I read was from The Milly,Molly,Mandy series,this was followed by Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.I
have been an avid reader ever since and it is one of my main interests.

I loved the Milly,Molly, Mandy series of books,also Little Women and The Anne Of Green Gables Series,I used to
imagine myself as each of the characters.

loved the JUrassic park books- much better than the films :)

It's got to be The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, a classic!

I loved Alice in Wonderland because of the characters. I still love them now!! I also loved The Bunny annual and comic. The four Marys!!! Can you imagine it now. Xx

i started off at age 5 reading five go to camp by enid blyton, i then read them all, then i went on to brer rabbit, malory towers, st clares. i love the faraway tree and the enchanted wood and the wishing chair, then as it got older it was romance and danielle steel and finally now i love zombie books lol

My favourite story was 'Thumpity Thump gets dressed', it is now my daughter's favourite book too. My mum always taught me that no matter what happens once you can learn to read, no one can take that or your imagination away from you. It is all yours and you can let it run free.

I loved adventure stories such as Swallows and Amazons and historical novels by Geoffrey Trease, Henry Treece and Rosemary Sutcliff. I remember in particular loving The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff. My other favourite was the Jennings books - just so completely different from my own school experiences and extremely funny!!

Firstly, the books my aunt sent me from Canada. They were big, and seemed very exotic. I still have The Night Before Christmas, and read it to my family every Xmas Eve. For everyday tho, the Famous Five... I WAS their invisible sixth member!

My favourite books were written by Enid Blyton. Including Famous Five, Malory Towers and Faraway Tree.

You can't beat roald Dahl books

It was Enid Blyton for me too - the Famous Five and Secret Seven!

Also Enid Blyton, especially the The Wishing Chair series and The Magic Faraway Tree books. But probably the series I remember most fondly are the Beverley Nichols Trilogy -The Tree That Sat Down / The Stream That Stood Still / The Mountain of Magic - (again fantasy novels, I had such a vivid imagination in those days and thought all this magic could really happen!)

The Secret Seven books were my favourite. I could just imagine myself being part of 'The gang'. They are still popular today with the children where I work - a true test of writing that really captures the imagination is if it stands the test of time.

The Chalet School Books, by Elinor M Brent Dyer. I couldn't get enough of them, spent all my pocket money on them and recently found some on eBay and re-read them. Took me right back!

I loved The Borrowers by Mary Norton.

Enid Blyton was staple fare, starting with the 'Noddy' books and then the 'Adventure' series with Jack, Diana, Phlip and Lucy - I didn't care much for The Secret Seven or Famous Five books. But if I really had to choose a book which I have gone back to so many times and still do, is 'The Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Grahame.

I loved the adventures of The Famous Five

Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. Had a really old copy that my nan gave me, It was so old half the pages had come out of the binding, but I treasured that book and read it so many times. No idea where it went :(

I liked Wish for a Pony, by Monica Edwards. I loved all her Romney Marsh books and dreamed of owning a pony, alas, all I was allowed was a hamster!

My favourite ever book has to be "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Bennett. As a girl, I always imagined myself as Mary. I was 10, she was 10. Strange,really when I look back, as the book was really more in my Mum's era, as it was first published in 1910, just 3 years before my Mum was born. Stranger, even still, it also holds fond memories for me of my Grandma, who, as a young teenager, worked as a Lady's Maid at Elstronwick Hall, East Yorkshire,very similar in my mind, as a young girl to Misselthwaite Manor where the maid befriended young Mary!!

I loved the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, and the C.S Lewis books.

George's Marvellous Medicine was a favourite but I was delighted to find any Roald Dahl book in the library.

Almost anything by Enid Blyton held my interest and somewhere tatty and torn I still have my copy of Mr Twiddle which my son has also enjoyed.

Josephine Pullein-Thompson, Diana Pullein-Thompson and Christine Pullein-Thompson books about horses were my favourite books as a child.

Little Black, A Pony was a book my Grandad used to read to me and my sister everytime we went to visit. I loved reading the Beatrix Potter books especially Peter Rabbit and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle. Also the Secret Seven series by Enid Blyton, I even started my own secret club in my Mum's garage!!

I loved Pollyanna and was fascinated by prisms.

Mallory Towers, was my favourite but also liked St Clares it was a world I fancied being in lots of academic work and midnight feasts in the dorm. Which even at that young age realised it was fantasy, a world away from a working class yorkshire family.

I loved reading as a child and one of my favourites was Heidi by Johanna Spyri

Enid Blyton books. Heidi,Pollyanna,Anne of Green Gables. I loved them all
Gorand

I loved all the chalet School stories by Elinor m Brent Dyer. a boarding school in the alps with adventures fab.

I loved Enid Blyton's books, especially The Famous Five, Mallory Towers series and The St Clare's series.

Another Enid Blyton fan here, with my favourite being The Folk of The Faraway Tree. I just loved the idea of a tree somewhere full of magical folk, towering into the clouds where there were new and mysterious lands.

My favourite childhood books were The Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mystery books. We would go to the library every week to see if anyone had returned a book we hadn't read. I also loved the Asterix the Gaul and Tintin books.

I absolutely loved the Enid Blyton Malory Towers series. It's funny how tastes change over time. I tried introducing them to my girls, but they were clearly not as excited by them as I was.
Super giveaway, thank you :)

I used to love Enid Blyton's Saint Claire's books about a boarding school which sounded much more fun than our school! I also loved the Ladybird book of India which probably was responsible for my love of travel and exploring.

My absolute favourite was Busy Busy World by Richard Scarry, trying to find a copy for my kids.

A series by Willard Price about two teenagers who went across the globe collecting animals for their father's animal supply business and had exciting adventures as they went. Probably terribly politically incorrect now, but I learned a lot about animals and loved the stories.

Faves were: The very Hungry Caterpillar and The Size Spies.

Busy Busy World by Richard Scarry. The illustrations are brilliant and so detailed, my brother and I read in for years.
