What was the book you most remember from your childhood. Mine would have to be anything from Nan Chauncy, especially "Tiger in the Bush" although "February Dragon" from Colin Theile is a close second.

Roald Dahl was the best, i loved the Witches and the BFG. I liked Enid Blytons Famous Five and Secret Seven books, but couldn't get into the faraway tree and others. But the Hobbit was my favourite book when i was a kid

My first full book was "The HArdy Boys and the Flickering Torch Mystery"
I read almost every one after that. Imagine my dismay learning Franklin W Dixon was not a person, but a syndicate.

I still have a soft spot for The Twits by Roald Dahl. I reread it recently actually, and it cracked me up a few times...
Magic Faraway Tree then The Hobbit when I was a bit older.
Nice.
One part of that story that always sticks in my mind, I forget which book it was from though.
I remember the children were all playing outside their cottage, then all of a sudden Moonface came stumbling up the garden path, bawling his eyes out. The children ask him what's wrong, but he's a mess, inconsolable. Finally he is able to blurt out 'I've been spanked!!'
Turns out he pissed off Mr Whatzisname and he gave him a hiding for it!

Most books from Roald Dahl, Goosebumps books or TinTin and Asterix & Obelix comic books. Where's Wally was great as well.
Enid Blyton. What a star.
The Magic Faraway Tree, (the saucepan man was a particular favourite, as was the lady who threw her clothes washing water down the tree). The Famous Five with lashings of root beer.

I use to read the old footy book series. Each team had one. It was usually about a family who watched their favorite team.I think they were made in the 80's. but they also made one for the newer teams, like eagles. Can anyone remember what the name of the series was, or the name of the author?
