Funny you should ask that question! My eight year old daughter has just been reading out to me the list of books on the back cover of "Heidi" (which I loved as a child) and I've been saying whether I've read them or not, which started a discussion between my husband and me about what books we'd read as children. I'd read 26 of the list of 50, which were all 'classics'. I loved the "Anne of Green Gables" books, "Milly Molly Mandy", some books by someone called Elliston Trevor that I've forgotten but know I liked. Has anyone heard of him? I haven't for years. I could go on forever now I've started that train of thought! I didn't read "The Dark is Rising" until I was grown up and my friend@s kids were reading it. I also didn't meet "Swallows and Amazons" until I was grown up and I love them. This is long enough so far. I'll come back with some more later when I see what other people say!
