Re: favourite childrens books
A book called Milly Molly Mandy but don't know who wrote it and Enid Blyton's stories especially the famous five.
Always wished I had a big brother. I loved reading to MUMMIBOO she couldn't get enough of books. Would read her one story and she'd want another and another. She could read before she went to school.

Re: favourite childrens books
My mums problem with me was keeping me from reading all the books. I used to go to the library every saturday and i'd have read them by wednesday/thursday. Favourite books - black beauty by anna sewell, enid blyton - mallory towers and famous five, the naughtiest girl in the school etc, elinor m brent dyer - the chalet school series (ive still got some of them somewhere), louisa may alcott - little women, good wives etc and eight cousins. I still read a lot now - any visitors to my house know theres books everywhere...
