My favourite books were the What Katy Did stories - as an only child I longed to be part of a family to other children.
I also have a memory of reading, when I was quite young, a book called 'Mossy Green Theatre' (about forest animals who form a theatre in the woods) I've always enjoyed the theatre but have never come across the book since.

Enid Blyton books again - the Famous Five and the Mystery series were my favourites but also a book of my father's Rough the Story of a Dog by Herbert Strang which was written in 1928 (just looked that up!!).

Oh I just read everything but especially liked the series about twins in different countries i.e The Eskimo Twins, The Dutch Twins etc. Then went on to the Famous Five series, the Secret Seven series, Biggles (how I loved Ginger!) The Magic Faraway Tree, The Secret Garden and so many more. I would borrow them from the library and one day when I took back the three I had read the librarian said "You can't possibly have read them that quickly. Go away and you can't have any more books until next week" I was distraught, left with nothing to read, a disaster then as now.

'Anne of Green Gables' by Lucy Maud Montgomery and all Louisa May Alcott's books starting with 'Little Women' were favourites of mine. I was also a big fan of Enid Blyton especially 'Malory Towers' and I am currently enjoying reading 'The Secret Seven' series to my grandson. So many memories have come back to me. He has joined the online Secret Seven Club and received badges, posters etc. No doubt we will soon progress to 'The Famous Five'. It's amazing how Enid Blyton's popularity has lasted although the vocabulary can be rather 'posh' and the ideas somewhat strange and old-fashioned. When I was younger I remember my parents reading 'Milly Molly Mandy' and 'The Family from One End Street' by Eve Garnett to me and later stories about that very naughty 'Just William' by Richmal Crompton. I also enjoyed listening to his pranks on the radio.
When I was a teacher I shared many books with the children in my classes. They loved 'The Chronicles of Narnia', 'Goodnight Mr Tom', Danny, the Champion of the World' and in fact anything by Roald Dahl. The girls loved Judy Blume's books and the boys any book by Terry Pratchett.

Heidi. children from one end street. Milly molly mandy were all joint favourites when I had learned to read +all very engrossing and captivating!

I used to love all the Noel Streatfield books especially "Ballet Shoes". I have even re-read them recently and tried to interest my granddaughter as well!
I loved nearly any book I could borrow from the library. I still have a copy of "The Family from One End Street" by Eve Garnett and loved the illustrations!

I loved Enid Blyton Famous Five and Secret Seven books

I loved reading Enid Blyton's The Adventure Series with Philip, Jack, Dinah, Lucy-Ann and Kiki the parrot. Also when I was much younger, I could not get enough of Lucy Fitch Perkins - The Twins books e.g. The Eskimo Twins and The Indian Twins. As soon as I had finished one book, I would go to the local Library to lend another. :D

I loved the whole series of 'Anne of Green Gables' by L. M. Montgomery. As a child I could relate to Anne on so many levels, right down to "It's Anne with an 'E'"!

I loved Enid Blyton, hard to pick a favourite really. Probably have to go with the famous five books, as they showed how independent children could be, and I loved the idea of having my own island :-)

I loved Carbonel by Barbara Sleigh

I loved all of the Arthur Ransome books - Innocence, Adventure, Escapism - Delightful

It's so difficult to narrow them down but I loved the Chronicles of Narnia, Charlottes Web and Heidi plus all The St Claires and Malory Towers books. I really can't narrow it down any further, they all have a special place in my heart and I can't wait to share them with my girls.

My favourite childhood books were the small hardback Ladybird series books - the Garden Gang, Well-Loved Tales, like the Magic Porridge Pot and the Musicians of Bremen, the Read It Yourself series books, and the Talkabout series (Starting School, Holidays.) My Mum would buy me one book every Saturday, from the huge rack in the newsagent. I still have about 50 of them!

I used to love reading the twits, an amazingly fun book! :D

I loved the Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken

i used to read the Enid Blyton books, could readad them time and time again and never get bored

I used to love my mum reading Chicken Little to me, however because my mum died young and I'd forgotten the name of it, my kids never had the pleasure of it, i'll just have to wait for the grandkids .

My favourite childhood book was The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge. I read it again and again and never tired of it. I loved it just as much when I read it to my children, although my copy is a little dog-eared these days!

Black Beauty was always my favourite book. When the film was made I had to watch that.

I loved the Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis. I still read them from time to time!

You never beat a good Enid Blyton Famous Five book kept me entertained for hours.

I used to love the Mallory Towers series about boarding school fun.

You must be a very young Gran, Thegamer! Spot the Dog first came out in 1980. Love him, though, so do the DGDs.

[sigh] I feel so old!

I loved Carrie's war and lots of other classics, but my favourite series was the Famous Five
