Re: some of my remembered books

I remember Mrs Frisby and the rats from NIMH, I still have the book, and my little girl has read it too. I must have read it 100's of times. Most of the books I read were Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl's (sorry about the correction)

I read many of those books when I was younger.

we had our loft insulated a couple of weeks back,and a load of old books are piled around the house at the moment.I will have to look through them and post what i have discovered.I think a load got thrown out,which is a shame.

Re: some of my remembered books

Ahh, I loved books when I was little. Had a trip down memory lane recently and remembered some favourites:

The Famous Five series
Little Grey Rabbit (including a model house with furniture and characters made from card, one of which is currently selling on amazon for $200! Ah well, what price memories, eh?)
Mrs Pepperpot
Roald Dahl's Danny the Champion of the World
Brer Rabbit
Watership Down
The Faraway Tree
Mr Pinkwhistle stories
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
Ladybird books, particularly the 'well-loved tales' eg Cinderella
'Kennelmaid Nan' and 'Maid of the Abbey' - both passed on by my Mum.
And of course, as many annuals as I could lay hands on. Happy days.
