Same here! ^_^

I also had a bunch of fairy tale books that I read obsessively. Probably the reason why I write fantasy today.
There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people:
psychopaths and mystery writers.
I'm the kind that pays better.

My favourite children's book will always be "The Perfect Hamburger" by A. M Smith. Other than that, I'd have to say Roald Dahl has pretty much raised me. Charlie and the Chocolate factory, the BFG, Witches, Matilda, Danny Champion of the World, etc. So many fond memories...
The best is what you make it!

I loved Matilda! I used to wish I was just like her : )
when she needs to shelter from reality she takes a dip in my daydreams

Verdi and Stelleluna! My mon would re-read those over to us thousands of times... When I got older I was fond of 'The Time Garden.' <3
I have loved the words and I have hated them. I only hope I have made them right.

Ah! I forgot all about "Verdi!" I loved that book.
'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives.

Reviews? You know you want one. :)

I loved the Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real by Margery Williams. In fact, I still love it! Dr. Seuss was also marvelous :)
