There are more, many more but it was supposed to be only three for each category. And it really depends on the age you are working from. When I was very young I loved Milly Molly Mandy and the Pooh books. Then as I got older it was Swallows and Amazons and the Adventure series by Enid Blyton. And also Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy. I could read by the time I was three and never had my head out of a book. I can remember in Primary School always being in trouble for reading a book under my lifted up desk lid. We had those old fashioned desks with lids that lifted up to access the storage space underneath. And they had ink wells which were filled with real ink. My first grown up writing was done using a dip pen and ink. The ink was made from a powder mixed with water and it was the ink monitor's job to do this. This is really making me go back and remember all kinds of things.
