Camilla said one of her favourite books as a child was Black Beauty, which she cried over. Me too

Let’s join in!

What was a favourite book from your childhood and who would you dress up as?

I went through a stage of loving Wurzel Gummidge so I’d go as Aunt Sally!

I really, really got into The Planet of The Apes series of books during the early 70’s.

No doubt about it, I’d have to go as Galen!

I had a similar haircut…it was the 70’s.

I loved the Nancy Drew series.

Just need to find a flashlight :flashlight: (torch) and maybe a magnifying glass. She’s a girl detective.

I wanted to be George in Enid Blyton’s Famous Five. I was a tom boy in those days.

Oh yes! I wanted to be George too! Who would want to be wimpy Anne?

Did you know Enid Blyton based George on herself?

My niece has sent me an adorable photo of her 4 year old son today, dressed up in a snail costume, it’s like a tabard with a built-in hood with little antennae sticking up from the hood - he is clutching this book - he looks so cute in his Snail Outfit.

The Hardy Boys?
Probably not very well known over the pond.
I bet they wouldn’t be seen dead without a flashlight :flashlight:
There was a story when they solved a mystery of a so called haunted house.
