[Chucky Mama]

Folk of the Faraway Tree and the Milly Molly Mandy books

 

Milly Molly Mandy I had forgotten about them. I loved them - I also loved Enid Blyton's Famous Five. I don't actually remember having the type of access to books that our children are now lucky enough to have or being encouraged to read as much as they are. I think I would have liked to read more. I also remember my mum letting me read Jilly Cooper books when I was quite young I wouldn't let my daughter read them at a similar age

[ClaireG]

Charlottes Web was a huge favourite of mine

 

Ooh i loved Charlottes Web Also loved all the Famous Five, Secret Seven and Mallory Towers.

Sam Pig

Little Grey Rabbit ( I still adore these as the pictures are so beautiful)

The Family at One End Street

Faraway Tree ( )

Ballet Shoes

The Little White Horse

Narnia stories, all of them

 

 

many more, happy memories, most of which I have shared with (ie imposed upon) my own kids!

[Chicken Licken]

Little grey rabbit here as well, Lots of Enid Blyton, Narnia, Arthur Ransome, Susan Cooper - The Dark is Rising books were the Philip Pullmans of their time (if that makes sense). Many of them I can happily sit down and read as an adult!!

I guess my book choice was influenced by my parents as many of these are vintage!! (especially Hare joins the home guard!!)

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

let us not forget Roald Dahl either.

[Chickpea]

 

I just loved this and still do!

Little Women

Charlottes Web

Watership Down

Danny, Champion of the World

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

 

Oh, and I loved Grimms fairytales - mum bought me a giant book (well it seemed giant when I was little ) packed full of fairytales and I would read them over and over again.

 

I wish I was a kid again...... *sigh*

[Snowy]

A Childs Garden of Verses - Robert Louis Stevenson. I had this from a very young age, the one illustrated by Hilda Boswell - I vividly remember the pictures, they were so fantastical and magical! Even before I could read the pictures fascinated me. I managed to track down and buy a copy from ebay last year. It's very precious - the new versions have such poor illustrations!

[chelsea]

Just remembered the "Lotta" stories by Astrid Lindgren also.

[Sam Palmer]

The Silver Brumby series,

Ponies Plot,

The Black Stallion

Black Beauty

Misty of Chincoteague

Anything by the Pullein-Thompson sisters

(can you see a theme here? )

 

I loved Misty of Chincoteague and Stormy, Misty's Foal. I've never come across anyone else who's read them!

Milly Molly Mandy was the first 'proper' book I ever read.

I was obsessed by the Paddington Bear books and still have them all. I was hoping my children might take an interest in them, but they never did.

And I read a lot of Enid Blyton.

In more recent years reading to my two boys, I really enjoyed the Mog books, Katie Morag and the Tiger Who Came to Tea.

[Looney]

I loved the Enid Blyton books and Roald Dahl too.

 

I also loved the Church Mice books and the poor ginger cat they used to torment.

 

Another one I remember is Bogwoppit, mainly because of the drawing of Bogwoppit itself with its big eyes. Hence why I call my little boy Bogwoppit! By the way, if you come across a copy of the book they are worth a fair amount of money for an old paperback!

[jackiepoppies]

It has to be The Railway Children for me.

[dovesville]

Ladybird books - Piggly plays Truant, Lost at the Fair, Downy Duckling, Ned the Lonely Donkey, the Discontented Pony. Then onto Enid Blyton - The Magic Faraway was just great.

[Cooks]

I have just remembered I also loved a book called 'Flat Stanley' anyone remember it??

[Guest]

[Guest]

Goodenss, I can remember reading & loving the Silver Brumby books,Black Beauty ........anything horsey actually.

 

.

 

same here, was horse mad too.

 

I especially remember a book about a woman training a young pony, it had a yellow cover and loads of black and white photos, wish i could remember what it was called! It may have been something like 'a pony called .....' off to try and find it on google!

 

***eta*** wow, managed to trace it on google, it was called 'A summer with Tommy' by Caroline Silver and i read and re-read it, the photos (I seem to remember) were brilliant.

[Valkyrie]

I'd forgotten Milly Molly Mandy, and I had a lot of Enid Blyton books - short stories too. Lots of Noddy books.

And how could I forget Richard Scarry? I have a book that is illustrated by him - short stories and poems by a different person - one for every day of the year. My brother had Busy Busy World (Hans the Dutch plumber is the best story there), and my children have had lots of Richard Scarry books too.

Children of the New Forest

Wind in the Willows

Then someone introduced me to Jules Verne books at school.

[henriette]

Ferdinand the Bull

The Velveteen Rabbit

The Secret Seven

The Famous Five

(plus all the Enid Blyton stories)

Peter Rabbit - and all the Beatrix Potter stories and thank you Koojie for reminding me of Orlando the Marmalade Cat! I wonder if it is still possible to buy a copy of that one. Would love to have it so I can read it to my grand children

[sparkysmum]

Enid Blyton, Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear & his marmalade Sandwiches, but how I loved Hiawatha, read it day after day. Here's a few lines for you young things

 

" By the shores of Gitche Gumee,

By the shining Big-Sea-Water,

Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,

Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.

Dark behind it rose the forest,

Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,

Rose the firs with cones upon them;

Bright before it beat the water,

Beat the clear and sunny water.............................." So beautiful.
