- The Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis – those books include The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and The Silver Chair.
- What Katy Did and What Katy Did Next by Susan Coolidge – the stories of Katy Carr and her siblings. These are great. Can’t recommend them enough.
- All the Mary Poppins books by P L Travers – so much better than the film!
- All the Heidi books by Johanna Spyri .
- The Chronicles of Prydain books by Llloyd Alexander.
- The Wishing Chair and The Faraway Tree books by Enid Blyton.
- Anything by Roald Dahl, although I particularly love The Witches.
- The Fox Busters by Dick King Smith – one of the first books I bought with my own pocket money!
- All the books by E Nesbitt, but I loved The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Enchanted Garden the best.
- The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster – a bizarre book, but very enjoyable.
The Phantom Tollbooth. Check. Narnia. Check. I didn’t like the Mary Poppins books as much as the movie. The kids kind of seemed like brats (no offense intended.) Thanks for sharing!
I know what you mean!! I still enjoyed the books though! Have you read the Prydain books? They are really good.

I don’t think so. What are they about, they sound interesting?
Fantasy for kids aged 10-14….really good.
Thanks, I’ll have to check them out!
