Favorite books as a child

[Joanne Collins]

I'll have to answer this, late as I am.

The first books I remember reading were some adaptations of the fairy
tales. Cinderella and whatnot.

Then one day I was introduced to chapter books by someone suggesting that I
read a Bobbsey Twins book.

Books I loved as a child:

Bobbsey Twins
Sue Barton nurse books by Helen Dore Boylston (I wanted to be a nurse for
so long)
Cherry Ames nurse books (*g*)
Nancy Drew
Trixie Belden
Enid Blyton's books. Sometimes the mysteries, sometimes the 'toys coming to
life', sometimes the school stories.
Also various other kid-type books.
Oh, I remember loving a couple of books called the Hamlyn Book Of Queens
and the Hamlyn Book Of Princesses (I had a fascination with royalty, too)
Little House books
Little Women
Just about every horse-related kid's book that existed
Heidi and the sequels
And I remember reading a book about Helen Keller when I was young that
affected me deeply.
