I grew up in a book worms environment so books were everywhere, of every sort. I bought myself all the Salgari books, with the little money I could gather from little jobs or from the munificence of aunts and uncles (I had many of those). My father tended to curb my reading, for the eyes, he said. So I read under the blankets with an electric torch. And I still have 20/20.

Ah, but we lived in a village and I was allowed to go to the library on my own from I was 7-8 - and no-one told me what I could or couldn't read. I just knew my father disapproved of comics and such
Never stopped me reading them
