I can't imagine a house without books, when growing up ours was full of them as is mine today. My favourite of all time and one my dad bought me at 7 years old is Wind in the Willows, My favourites at the moment are the series of Clan of the Cave Bear.

Ann--yes thats the one THE FARAWAY TREE.really loved that as a child.
CAROL----we are the same age.xx :-D

I have the boxed set of Milly Molly Mandy... I loved them but my children chose others.

And then there was "What Katy Did?" ..where Katy becomes an invalid and takes four years to recover and I remember thinking at the time... how wonderful... one could just read forever and not have to go to school.

Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Children of Willow Tree Farm were on my bookshelf and well read as were the Bobbsey Twins and all my Teddy Tail and Playbox annuals etc...Classical mythology stories, Brer Rabbit and numerous others.. I always and I mean always got books for birthdays and Christmas from my relatives. I hated dolls but the ones that were given to me had to sit still while I read to them.

Then I grew up and read Paddington Bear in my twenties...

Which reminds me a promotion for Ann in Gloss ... Greaders group on here.. well worth taking part in .. I have been converted to all sorts of authors and read a lot that I would not normally have chosen... ;-)
