Enid Blyton's Mr. Meddle series, the Faraway Tree series, and the wishing chair. They bring back those memories of sitting down on week-ends and just reading in my parent's lounge, in the back yard. TV wasn't the same, and we certainly did not have computers. I recall feeling slightly scared when reading one of Mr. Meddle's stories of him getting lost in the fog at night. I really loved the characters of the Faraway Tree. They were like my little secret friends that all kids had in those days. Then I would really escape with the Wishing Chair series. I would excitedly turn the pages to join in on the adventures.
