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.

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...
