Enid Blyton was a big part of my early reading, later on it was Elyne Mitchell with her Silver Brumby series and all things animal - Joseph E. Chipperfield was a favourite author. The Narnia books (mainly I remember my Dad reading these too us kids after dinner). We had some of the Tarzan stories abridged for children, and they were good fun. There was lots of other stuff but those are the ones that have stuck in my mind. I could easily be persuaded to give the Mitchell or the Chipperfield books another try to see how they look after all this time.
