Oh i can't choose just one! Top 5 were The Twits, The Secret Garden, The Magic of the Faraway Tree, The Diary of Anne Frank and The Bewitching of Alison Allbright xxx

Favourite books as a child, there were so many but amongst them, the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis. ; The Wednesday Pony (can't remember the author) and the Biggles books,. I could go on and on, I was a total bookworm.

I loved the secret garden it allowed me to transport myself to another place it ignited my love of reading.

My favourite childhood books were anything written by Enid Blyton, I had the full set of the Famous Five books and The Secret Seven, plus various other books she wrote

My favourite books are when i was very young and now I am six. I learned every word of each of these books. And my favourite audio books were my naughty little sister and bad Harry series. Also loved the Malory towers collection with the naughty Alicia.

Alice In Wonderland

I used to love anything by Enid Blyton, but especially The Famous Five....escapism at its best for a child

My favourite book was always Little Women by Louis May Alcott which I read a number of times and later on I love watching the film. Also What Katy Did and What Katy did Next. We didn't have that number of books but could always use the library.

Any Enid Blyton book except the Secret Seven series. The first book I remember was Shadow the Sheepdog, Enid Blyton, of course. Firm favourites were also the Chalet School Books by Elinor Brent Dyer, and the Cherry Ames, series about a nurse. I was and am still an avid reader and loved Christmas which would bring my favourite annuals - School Friend, Girls Crystal, Girl and Bunty. I could go on and on!!!

Enid Blyton was my favourite author and I always went straight to the B section of the library in the hope of finding one of her books there. The two series of her books which I really enjoyed were The Famous Five and The Secret Seven.

I must have read every Enid Blyton book and loved them, followed by the Chalet School series, but my all time favourite was Anne of Green Gables.
What Katy did was a close second. My second home was the library. In my childhood, you weren't allowed to join the library until you were seven! After my first visit, I ran home, read the book and ran back to exchange it, only to be told that you couldn't do that on the same day! Oh the disappointment!

I loved Black Beauty because I was desperate to learn to ride. My parents couldn't afford lessons so I had a make believe horse instead, and I spent hours on the concrete staircase into our yard, pretending the washing line was a set of reins and I was flying through the countryside.
Oh, the power of imagination!

The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber.I am 56 and still have my copy from junior school days.Have read it to my four children,and three of my four grandchildren.It is an unusual book full of deliciously made up words that made my imagination run riot.it has a kind of naughty feel about it and you dare not think to long as to why.It has strange people and creatures,a princess,a villain that kind of thrilled me.He was wickedly thrilling with his mouth watering descriptive way of talking.Cant wait untill my grandaughter is older to read it again.Read it if you dare,but beware "Time lies frozen there,its never then,its allways now."

The Silver Sword by Ian Serreliier . Read it when I was 8 and it left me with such a haunting impression that stays with me to this very day.

Any book of fairy tales

My very first favourite was a Noddy story that had the ' very rude words Noddy bare body' so I guess that was the first Noddy book when he appeared naked. The first book that actually purchased myself was 'The Fortunes of Jackie' I can't remember the authors name. The feeling of power I had from choosing my own book was marvellous. I think I read it many many times, curled up in a corner savouring every page.

My all time favourite was little women followed by good,wives, little men and joes boys. I read them over and over again and still watch little women when ever it comes on the telly

Mine was Hedi and Black beauty

I must have been about 10 when I discovered books by Malcolm Saville in the bookcase at the back of the classroom.
I read several of them and looked on the internet today to see if I could find the titles. I think Mystery at Witchend must have been one of them.
I never realised until today that they were set in Shropshire. I think I might have another look!

I loved Little Women. I admired Jo, thought Beth was lovely, strongly disliked Amy, and was annoyed by Meg. In good wives I thought Jo should have married Laurie not the professor.

Oh The Chalet School Series. Took me completely away from the ordinary council estate where I lived and introduced me to another world, bit out of date of course. But I realised recently they were some of the few books around then where girls were the main characters and strong heroic role models.

And me! I wanted to be Jo.
I think parents bought them so I'd like the idea of boarding school!
I hated it! The most horrible 5 years of my life!

The Abbey girl series?

I absolutely loved Milly Molly Mandy and My Naughty Little Sister books. I found a Naughty Little Sister book in a charity shop the other day. It will be treasured.
