What was your favorite book as a child?
For me, I read the Roald Dahl books and the Harry Potter books again and again. The magic of not only the story, but the magic within the story enchanted me and drew me into the characters' worlds as I read them.

I also had this set with me. I was not aware of the publishing company or authors. I can only remember Sleeping Beauty, The Emperor's New Clothes, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Alibaba of Baghdad, Hansel and Grethel, and a lot more.AliceofX wrote:Back in my parents day there was this Wonderland book series of folk tales from different nations, so I still had a bunch of them lying around. The Estonian one was my favorite book as a child, mostly because of The Gold-spinners story. Now it's the most worn out and old looking from all the books.
