What were your favourite childhood books

Shawshank, December 7, 2020December 7, 2020

I was thinking about it a couple of days ago. Just remembering what I used to read.

I used to plow through tonnes of books. I had just about the whole original blue hardcovers of The Hardy Boys by Franklin W. Dixon. I loved reading them. I wish that I still had those books. The originals. I’ve heard that they’ve done massive edits to them to “modernize” them.

The other book that I remember loving was Danny, The Champion of the World by Roald Dahl. It’s such a great story of a father and son, and the grand adventure they have together. It’s just so magical, and in some ways I wished I had a father like that growing up to have adventures with.

What were your favourite books from when you were a kid? Tell me about them!
