Comments
How can you possibly remember the first book you ever read? I had one favorite book when I was a child, but I don't remember its name or the author's name. It was about some kid going on a seafaring trip.
I forgot to add to my list: Marchette Chute, Walter de la Mare, Susan Cooper, Madeleine l'Engle, Sue Townsend, Paul Auster, Giovanni Guareschi, Stephen Fry, etc. etc.
