i used to love:
The Twits/George's Marvelous Medicine/Fantastic Mr. Fox
Fantastic Faraway Tree (and set)
Magic Wishing Chair (and set)
Some say that it was after this, that i grew up. I tend to disagree :P
Your post brings back so many memories... the lighthouse keeper's lunch... the diggiest dog... phoebe and her hot water bottles.. I loved the faraway tree and wishing chair... actually all blyton I could get my grubby little hands on... Roald Dahl too... Those books were so magical, they're like places I've travelled to and loved, in my memory. I wish I still had them all around. t
