AH: I have lots of my old books! I am not very good at throwing books away, thinking that I might re-read them, use them in school or that my children might read them. In fact my daughter is currently re-reading the Narnia series and I am reading The Lord of the Rings for the fourth time.
Picking just three books is tough! I will choose three great ‘classics’ that don’t get much of a mention today. Firstly, I would put forward Smith (or anything else) by Leon Garfield. He was a great author, bringing historical periods to life with interesting characters and exciting adventures. Secondly, I would suggest Eight Days of Luke by [[:Category:Dianna Wynne Jones|Diana Wynne Jones]], which combines the problems of a modern child with ancient mythology (before [[:Category:Rick Riordan|Rick Riordan]] did it). I love the fact that Diana Wynne Jones is still writing and publishing. Thirdly, I would recommend [[Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr|Marianne Dreams]] which scared me as much as Dr Who when I read it as a child.
