pmsumner at 09:24pm on 01/08/20031. What were your favorite childhood stories?
Roald Dahl, all the way.
I went through a stage of reading lots of Secret Seven books, and then at school found Arthur Ransom and then also found Douglas Reeman.
2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
Dahl - I think that all kids should be shown that stories don't all have to be happyclappy stories.
3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
Not re-read the kids books lately, I think my mum gave a load to charity. Disappointing - but I have reread some of his more "adult" books which I think are all amazing.
4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
God-only-knows. I remember reading at 5, but my earliest memories are from 5...
5. Do you remember the first 'grown-up' book you read? How old were you?
Nope, and no idea :)
