largebelly Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 hans christian anderson, aesop's fables, hardy boys and the childcraft encyclopedia did the trick for me. although my all time favorite is this really old, ratty and tattered fairy tale book that belonged to my old man - journeys in storyland by theisen bond. this book was printed way before ww2 i believe. i started with that and just kept on reading.

berit Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Mine is Heidi and Black Beauty. Gusto ko especially yung Heidi dahil sa imagery niya ng malabuhay paraiso sa bundok na isang hinahanap ng tagalungsod. Funny thing is in my family all those books were meant for my brothers... hehehe... Quote Link to comment

Mr. Brown Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I read a lot of Agatha Christie novels. Particularly, I liked "And then There Were None" and the very clever "Murder of Roger Ackroyd". I also liked her closed door murders like "Death in the Air" and Murder at the Orient Express. Too bad she's gone. Quote Link to comment

wolflove_bigdawg Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Ladybird books! Particularly Robin Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk. I got so nostalgic about these books that I already have almost the complete collection of Ladybird titles. I even remember saving up for a Winnie the Pooh book when I was about 8 years old.
