What was your favorite book as a child?
My parents were relatively old when they had me so I had my fair share of much older childrens books. My fav when I was really young was:
The original of course! NOT the awful pc brigade corrupted modern version. Got to be Jo, Bessie, Fanny and Dick. Along with Dame Slap and the rest. I loved George's marvellous medicine as well. My best friend at the time also loved it and we tried to make our own 'marvellous medicine'. It was extensive... We also got extensively bollocked for it. Read a few Judy Blume books as well. Aimed at teens I suppose but we all read them much younger. My copy of forever was passed around nearly everyone in my class at junior school including the boys. Quite tame, naïve and idealistic by todays standards! |

Matilda. I could relate to the eponymous hero because I was a precocious little shit. And also because I could move things with my eyes.
I can't really think of a Roald Dahl book that I didn't/don't love. |

This really shows how ancient I am, I remember my dad would read Brer Rabbit stories to me and my brother at bed time and I particularly loved the illustrations. When I progressed to reading for myself I read and reread all the William books and then went on to PG Woodhouse. I think I was probably the only 10 year old boy in Ireland reading PG Woodhouse, I was a weird kid.

I loved Enid Blyton books as a child such as Famous 5, The Find Outers and the Naughtiest Girl. Also enjoyed Roald Dahl books, Milly Molly Mandy, Rupert the Bear and Black Bob. Happy and innocent times...

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory then the follow up Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. and Stig of the Dump, these books were purchased via the Puffin book club at school, we all had a magazine to choose the books from and a form to fill out and tick your choices, and we had a few weeks to pay for the books and when they arrived the classroom was heady with the smell of brand new books.

Enid Blyton's Secret Seven books. But my all time favourites were Roald Dahl's 'Boy' and 'Going Solo'. Oh, and a cassette recording of Conan Doyle's 'The Lost World'. The first serious/grown up book I remember reading was George Orwell's 'Down and Out in Paris and London'.

Definitely a Roald Dahl fan. I was caught within about two minutes of making my own marvellous medicine.
