Remembered Books
9 Answers
Sometimes one comes unexpectedly upon a book that you had thought lost for ever. I moved schools when I was 9 and therefore missed out on the ending of what was a very exciting story that was being read to us in class. Years later when staying in a holiday cottage I idly picked up a book and started to skim through it. Memories flooded back and I read through to the denouement. The title of this wonderful novel " The Secret Island" by Enid Blyton. I am an avid adult reader and cut my teeth on Enid Blyton, I never understood why librarians went through a phase of banning her books.

I have 2 editions of the 3 Golliwogs and admit that their names in the first edition are totally unacceptable today, if I was reading the story aloud I would have to use pseudonyms and wouldn't be able to give it to a child to read on their own. Jennings's and Nancy Blackett's expletives are however timeless.
I got lent the camomile lawn recently, I'd actually started watching it on telly years ago but never seen the end... when I started rading the book it all became very familiar, sadly it turns out I hate pretty much every single character in it and really disliked the book by the time it was finished.
