So you like the short story about his colleagues in the RAF dying and being transformed into angels? Or his story about the pit latrine in greece? Or his shopping his daughter to fellow pedophiles?

Matilda is Ronald Dahl's best work imo, the copy of Matilda I used to have as a kid has pages falling out and is destroyed because of how often I read it. think it inspired me in a lot of ways too as corny as it sounds

I only ever saw girls reading that series, so I knew it was efeminate trash. Superior furfag propaganda coming through.

someone on /pol/ had said what a delight these little books were to read to his nieces; how they're all filled with strong family values and of traditional beliefs.

His dark materials trilogy probably. Before that probably some Hans Christian Andersen, maybe the matchstick girl. I also really liked The Lathe of Heaven by Le Guin, pulled it off a bookshelf by chance when I was 7, good book. The Hobbit too.

These are good. I read His Dark Materials in 3rd grade, and I was very unsettled by the Magisterium or whatnot trying to kill kids. I would chant in my head that the Catholic Church would not do it, and that God is good and loves his creation.

The Famous Five series by Enid Blyton, without a doubt. It really influenced my early love of reading and I listened to the audiobooks when on long journeys because reading in the car always made me kinda dizzy. It must have drived my parents mad. I also blame the character of Georgina for an early awakening to tomboyish girls. A close second would be The Railway Series by the Rev. W Awdry, which turned me into a massive Thomasfag in my early childhood (of which I still have a massive box full of the Tomy sets, pre trackmaster). I also read quite a bit of Horrid Henry which my grandmother who lived in London would post to me. I also was gifted a beautiful copy of 'The Hobbit' on my tenth birthday with the original cover design in thick paper and rough pages with uneven length, giving it a truly mystical feel in hand and look on the shelf. But me being me, I accidentally ripped the cover a million times.

The how to train a dragon series. I would hesitate to call the last few books children’s books, they become become far mor accessible for all ages. I might even go so far as to say the series is top 5 of anything I’ve read, but perhaps that is nostalgia goggles. Either way I loved it. Completely different from the films.
