QotD: Books From My Childhood
What books did you love as a child?
Submitted by hearts.
There are so many. I was lucky because my mother was a librarian and for a while she was getting a lot of samples from publishers, which she usually gave to me. I loved choose your own adventure books and the first game books, such as the Warlock of Firetop Mountain. I'd go onto waste a lot of time on them in my teens.
But back to childhood, I also liked the Lotus Caves by John Christopher. Also anything by Nicholas Fisk and Monica Hughes and Ruth Chew and Roald Dahl. Going further back, I remember liking Asterix and Tin Tin books. One of my favourite books in my primary school library was Fungus the Bogeyman. There was a time when I really liked Richard Scarry books. The earliest books that I remember seeking out were the Mr Men books, my favourite ones were Mr Silly and Mr Daydream and Mr Messy.
