Treasure Island (The Heirloom Library,) signed 'Xmas 1952 Aunt Irene.' Tom Sawyer (The Heirloom Library) 1950 present. Robinson Crusoe (Rylee Classics) ditto. I still have all three. Then oodles of Biggles (racism for dummies.) Plus, soaring above all, The Wind in the Willows.maltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936465848907794425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-11832903844490794512016-04-04T21:42:31.538+01:002016-04-04T21:42:31.538+01:00The Compleat (spelling?

But at the age of about 10/11 I remember being totally gripped by the story of Dickon and his vivid adventures with Robin Hood and his anything-but-merry men. The slim volume eventually fell to bits through overuse as, like you with 'Beauty', I read it over and over again.mahlermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469854614938507153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-67916054483164345042016-03-30T13:35:52.553+01:002016-03-30T13:35:52.553+01:00'Emil and the Detectives', for fiction, wh...'Emil and the Detectives', for fiction, when I was holed up in bed with mumps at aged seven and 'The Kings and Queens of England' for non-fiction - lavishly illustrated and a big fat book for a six year old.It was a bit like a junior version of Arthur Bryant's histories; all "England is best.
