Avid reading of all Enid Blyton
From my local library and reading them avidly.
I could read before I went to school and hated the Janet and John books I was forced to read at school. I wasn't allowed to go onto the library bookcase until I had read them. I got told off for saying that they were dull to my teacher who wouldn't let me go onto the bookcase books !
I was told to kneel down and got the ruler whacked on my hands for saying so !!! Luckily it didn't put me off!! I went to the library every Saturday to change my books.
