Following a comment by Simian that it had been over 28 years since he
read the hobbit I was thinking that it must be about the same and
thinking about my early reading. I vaguely remember the Janet and John
books. I know by the time we were living in Oxford (so I was 6/7) I'd
got to the end of the Primary school reading scheme. Then I started to
eat up the real books.
Lots of the worthy stuff Harriet Beecher Stowe, CS Lewis, George
MacDonald.
Classics like Treasure Island, Huckleberry Finn, White Fang.
I was going to say I've kept none of the above but I have a folio
edition of the Narnia books somewhere and a slip case of George
MacDonald. I don't read them though.
What I have kept and go back to;
A wrinkle in Time, probably the first sci-fi I read.
The entire Anne of Green Gables series. I still sob at Anne's House of
Dreams.
Gerald Durrell.
Watership Down.
Now I'm getting the urge to step away from the computer and read so
I'll leave UKRM to add to the list. They are the same as a plate of
comfort food.
