Re: What were your favourite books as a child?
I read everything and anything but I loved Black Beauty. I remember being ill once and the cleaner giving me a load of her son's old books including Champion the Wonder Horse.I loved horses,still do.
School stories, like the Chalet School series were other favourites. Oh and then there were Little Women, Joe's Boys, Little Men and I shouldn't forget Coral Island and What Katy Did.The list is almost endless.

This might be interesting for Blyton fansThree major one-off films about the artistic careers of British female icons Margot Fonteyn, Gracie Fields and Enid Blyton will premiere this autumn in a special season of dramas on BBC Four,
I`ll look forward to these - the trailers look good.
