The only surviving book is a very old copy of the King James version of the bible. Although I've read it many times, I did not read it until adulthood. The first book I remember reading and enjoying was the first vol. of the Box Car Twins. After that I was hooked. My very favorite kids book would be "The Secret Garden" by Burnett, after that the original translaton of the Bros. Grimm and 1001 Nights, both out of the Harvard Classics. Great reading for a bored eight year old.
