Top favourite is The Vagabond Treasure by Sutherland Ross. An adventure set during the English Civil War.
Also about time of the English civil war, the Mandeville series by Geoffrey Treace although I have never been the same since reading Bows Against the Barons (anyone reading some of my comments could probably tell LOL)
Otherwise, all Malcolm Saville's books, eg The Lone Pine Club.

I was 7 when my mother gave me a book called "Mr. Pink Whistle" by Enid Blyton. It was the first book i ever read on my own and I was hooked.
After that I read any Blytion book that came my which included great series like Famous Five, Secret Seven, Mallory Towers and so many more.
But recently I heard that she's been criticized for being politically incorrect and her books have stopped being printed.
Also good old Ronald Dahl gave be endless hours of companianship. Who doesn't love his poems parodying classic fairy tales and books like BFG, Witches and ofcourse Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Later I moved onto books like Sweet Valley and R.L Stine. Thankfully my tween obsession with Todd and Elizabeth has ended, just as one day R.L Stine paperbacks ceased to be scary or even remotely interesting.

I have a very tatty copy of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner which I adored as a child (I'm now 50). I used to read it to my younger brother. We grew up and the book was dusted off and read, in turn ,by me, to my 2 boys. A few years later a niece appeared and the book was read to her. I worked as a teachers aide for a couple of years so the book went to school with me and read to around 300 kids there, and now my 3 beautiful grandchildren are having it read to them! I nearly manage to recite it as I have read it so often, and when I'm feeling blue this always cheers me up.

Just one? I guess my first choice would have to be "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne. A close second runner-up would be "A Journey to the Center of the Earth." I was a real book-worm tho, so I could give you a long list of books I loved, and still do.

I did love Robert Frost Poetry, My Grandfather got me addicted to poetry very young.
I have had very little time to read through my life but have always loved research. In the last seven years I finally have time and have read minimum of 100 books in the past 3 to 5 years. Adult series books.

Books written by Roald Dahl was one of the best. The witty storyline and plot, the description of each of his characters would make any child giggle in delight. It helped me whip up some pretty cool and wild imagination as a child.
