Swallows and Amazons series - read so many times that my copies fell to pieces! The Chalet School series was a favourite, even though I read them all out of order and got very confused!īooks set around ballet and the theatre, including Noel Streatfeild, Jean Estoril, Lorna Hill, Jean Ure and Pamela Brown. Berrisford, though the latter was greatly inferior to the former two. I also read pony books, especially those by the Pullein-Thompson sisters, Ruby Ferguson and Judith M. I didn't like the Secret Seven as the children weren't really distinguishable from one another. I too read Enid Blyton quite voraciously as a child, especially the Famous Five, Adventure and school series. So, what are your favorites and how do they hold up in the 21st century? Tried a reread four years ago, couldn't finish it, and left my copy on a bus. Then my parents gave me permission at age ten to apply for an adult library card since I had read everything in the children and juvenile sections. I still think she chose the wrong cousin. I loved Alcott's Eight Cousins and Rose-in-Bloom. Didn't do the Five Little Peppers, Bobsey Twins, or Hardy Boys. Then there was the Nancy Drew series which I inherited from my aunt so they were the originals, not the politically correct reissues. Think Music Man with pine trees and ice skating. I reread the later books and was just as charmed by the idyllic descriptions of turn of the century small town America.

Lovelace wrote a novel for every year and ended with Betsy's wedding right after World War One. (Have our UK members even heard of her?) The series starts when Betsy meets her best friend in first grade in a small town in Minnesota. I also read the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace. I read a few of them about two years ago and found them sadly lacking.

And I really liked only the first four or five with Dorothy and Ozma. My earliest memories were of the Oz books by Baum, but only those by Baum himself, no spinoffs. What books did you love as a child? We are so diverse here: different age groups, different countries, different genders. The interesting discussion about Bawdin's children's books prompted me to suggest this topic.
