Amazed to see 'The Secret Island' on your book list. This was, without doubt, my favourite childhood book and I didn't think anyone else remembered it. I was bought it as part of a series but the only one I remember apart from it was 'The Secret of Moon Castle' which terrified me at the time. Now teaching P6 kids, I tried to resurrect it and read it to them and was disappointed to realise how dated and lame it sounded. My wife still reads 'The Magic Faraway Tree' to her P2s and they love it so maybe all is not lost.<BR/><BR/>LambypieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-79023890715917961692008-02-25T08:34:00.000+00:002008-02-25T08:34:00.000+00:00Such nostalgia!

I've very fond memories of The Famous Five and I had the entire series; only wish I hadn't donated them to a jumble sale now!Timothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.com
