The Wind In Willows by Kenneth Graham.

 

[Danny McG]

I was going to recommend The Eagle of the Ninth, but it's already listed!

Has anyone mentioned the lion, the witch and the wardrobe?

 

[farntfar]

I don't think they have, Danny. Nor the rest of the series.

And I haven't noticed The Hobbit either.

The Wind Singer by William Nicholson is really early YA, I suppose.

Lucky Starr, Space Ranger by Isaac Asimov, and it's sequels.

Has anyone mentioned the lion, the witch and the wardrobe?

Boaz mentioned the Narnia series.

The Little Grey Men and The Little Grey Men Go Down the Bright Stream by "BB" are lovely.

 

[Baldanders]

White Fang of Jack London. When I was 11, that was my favorite.

Oh completely forgot about them. Went through a stage of reading these, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys.

I read one of those , The Mystery of the Whispering Mummy .

The 'choose your own adventure/fighting fantasy' style books are very good - lots of differing themes, although many  do involve combat - and help stimulate the imagination.
