The Magic Faraway Tree and the rest of the set were my all time favourites and loved reading them again when my own children were small. Can still imagine eating one of Mr Moonface's "popping" biscuits"!!

The Magic Faraway Tree, The Wishing Chair, Mr Meddle, The famous five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find Outers, St Clairs and Malory towers, will always have a place in my heart.

Re: What books did you read?

Strange, I am still reading, or re-reading the same books I have read for years. LOTR is the current one, for the umpteenth time and David Eddings Belgariad, Elenium and Mallorian books. My next will be bobby charlton's bio.

Just found this!!

A few books

Had a few books growing up that I loved.

The first one was something called "1000 questions and answers". Think the cover was brown. Remember on page 30 was a picture of a 2 headed snake.

This one is alittle vague, it could have been called spy`s handbook but thats just a rough guess. I know it came out before 1985 as I took it into primary school the last years so between 1984 and July 1985 and it could have been second hand. All I can remember was there where some pictures about spy sign language like pointing to your nose would mean meet me at 8 with the secret formula. Also had pictures on how to look around corners without getting seen. These pics were drawn if thats any help.
