  1. Lovely Giveaway! Thank you! Apart from Beatrix Potter, I always loved Ednid Blyton’s books as a child and now my children do too. Roald Daul is another equal favourite!

  2. Sorry for the spelling mistake above ‘Dahl’ not ‘Daul’! I have signed up to The Works newsletter.

  5. I used to love enid blyton books as a child. Can’t wait til my 2 are old enough to read them!

  9. Hans Christian Anderson was always my fave x
    I’ve signed up to your mailing list, followed you on twitter and RT’d x

  10. Lovley Prize, I adored thee books – Flopsy Mopsy Cotten Tail and PETER! Would love to read these to my nephew.

    My fav childrens author has to be C.E. Lewis.

    xXx

  13. My favourite children’s author is Roald Dahl, a popular choice but rightly so. For slightly younger children, I don’t think you can beat Oliver Jeffers.

  16. My favorite childrens author at the moment would be Roald Dahl, I love the way his imagination spurs my son on.

  26. I would also have to say Enid Blyton, I loved her when I was a child. Keep trying to get my children to read the books but they dont seem to be bothered about her, they would rather read Roald Dahl. If I keep persisting them maybe one day they will try her books and hopefully like me they will love her too.

  28. Roald Dahl was easily my favourite – loved The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

  29. Alan Garner – The Weirdstone of Brisingamen was a fabulous fantasy read when I was young and even now I am an adult I still re-read this book every few years for the childhood memories it invokes!

  31. My favourite children’s author was always George Layton, author of “The Fib and other stories”. The way he crafted out images of his world into my juvenile mind, the relationships between the schoolfriends, parents and teachers, and the sheer pleasure of the tales unravelling in front of me. Layton was a genuis.

  40. Loved Joyce Stranger as a child – animal daft and her books often empathised with the animal. Sadly she is no longer with us but will be passing on her books to my daughter when she’s a bit older (she’s two so into fairies and princesses at the moment!).

    Thanks for the comp!

  41. My personal favourite is Road Dahl but my kids love the Julia Donaldson books.

  47. My liitle girl loves Julia Donaldson’s books. The illustrations are always fab and the books so engaging and clever!

  51. i LOVE beatrix potter. I have a peter rabbit teddy from when i was two years old still! It has seen better days though.

    I also admire Roald Dahl, For putting so much enthusiasm into his publications. One of my favorite’s is Charlie and the chocolate factory!

    When my son gets older, i will give him my book collection, which includes Charlie and the chocolate factory!

  52. Definitely beatrix potter! I loved them all,
    Would love this prize so I can reread them

  53. Robert Louis Stevenson – Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, among my favourites.

  55. My favourite author from my own childhood was Enid Blyton; I can vividly recall reading her books over and over, particularly The Enchanted Wood. My favourite author at the moment for my granddaughter has to be Julia Donaldson, particularly for The Gruffalo but for the other outstanding books she has penned too, fabulous.

  56. I have re-tweeted about the competition (wasn’t sure if I was meant to leave a comment to let you know that), apologies if I shouldn’t have
    My Twitter ID is @TweetwithHelen

  58. As a child just starting secondary school I was captivated and enthralled by Enid Blyton’s Mallory Towers – I so wanted to go the school which sounded so much more exciting than normal school.
    Enid Blyton was the best and I always looked for her books in the school library every time.

  63. It has to be Judith Kerr….the Tiger that Came to tea…and the MOG the cat series 🙂

  65. Roald Dahl will always be my favourite author. His stories were magical to read as a child and have stood the test of time.

  67. This is a tricky one! If I was thinking back to my childhood it would probably be Enid Blyton – but my little boy is loving the Hairy Maclary stories so I’d say Lynley Dodd today.

  68. It has to be Enid Blyton, a variety of books to suit all ages as you go through childhood

  70. I was mad on Enid Blyton. Her stories were very far removed from my own life and, in hindsight, quite un-PC in places but in the main she was a great story teller. A great contrast with great contemporary children’s authors like Jacqueline Wilson.

  74. Love them all but my overall has to be Enid Blyton,i grew up with her books and cherish them all.

  78. I love Julia Donaldson, the fab illustrations and the rhyming stories 🙂

  86. A tough question but here we love The Gruffalo so it has to be Roald Dahl. We also like Axel Scheffler for his wonderful illustrations.

  87. I was a massive fan of Michael Rosen’s rhymes and songs, with Quentin Blake’s fantastic drawings to match – I’ll have a please sandwich cheese! 😀

  96. As a child I adored Roald Dahl (and still do), but I think that Julia Donaldson is absolutely fantastic too.

  98. Roald Dahl all the way. Am rereading them all again with my daughter and they are just as good now I’m a “grown up” as they were when I was a child!

  102. Enid Blyton!!! Have The Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair imprinted in my memory forever =] Twitter-@VictoriaHowe91

  120. This is such a great give away..!!! Ever since I was a child I have loved the Beatrix Potter books..my mum used to read them to me every bed time. Apart from Beatrix Potter I also love Roald Dahl.

  127. my favourite author is J K Rowling… the Harry Potter books are spellbinding and so much fun 🙂

  129. Roald Dahl, always remember our teacher reading the BFG to us – one chapter per week in school. I loved it

  131. Hard to choose, I read alot of Enid Blyton as a child, but Roald Dahl is far more exciting. In the end though I’d pick Dr Seuss books as my favourites as they’re so much fun with word play and imagination.

  132. My son loves books by Julia Donaldson but I used to love, and still do, those by Roald Dahl, they are so imaginative and well written.

  136. I have to say Enid Blyton they were the best books by far when i was growing up,I would actually imagine myself in the stories lol 🙂

  148. C.S. Lewis would have been my fav – read the lion, witch and the wardrobe and the other narnia stories so many times.

  155. Roald Dahl has always been my fave.It took him only a few words to describe a charcter in great detail x

  158. Roald Dahl has got to be my favourite, it was a close one between him and Julia Donaldson – but the sheer quality and variety of Dahls books makes him the winner for me!

  166. Has to be Roald Dahl, even at 37 i still enjoy reading the Twits and Fantastic Mr Fo

  171. Enid Blyton, loved Malory Towers and The Naughtiest Girl series 🙂

  173. Reverend Wilbert Vere Awdry – our son it NUTS for Thomas The Tank Engine at the moment 🙂

  199. Definitely has to be Enid Blyton – my 8 year old is now following in my footsteps.

  209. I loved all of Enid Blyton books especially the Noddy series

    I have tweeted to all my followers as @jillyannbubbles

  211. Beatrix Potter. We have some of the books and she loves them. Would love to win these for my nephew!

  212. For me and all of my children it has to be Roald Dahl, his books are absorbing and entertaining…even when you’re a grown up! 🙂

  217. The first book i read was The Folk of the Faraway Tree. I loved all Enid Blyton books

  221. My favourite author when I was a child was a toss-up between Cpt W.E. Johns (he wrote the Biggles books) and Roald Dahl (his descriptions were so vivid).

    Now, as a father, I love reading Roald Dahl to my sons, but I also love reading David Walliams books – he is very similar in tone to Dahl. My boys love both!

  227. Enid Blyton many a happy night up late reading the famous five,secret 7, malllory towers and twins at St. Clare’s

  242. Definitely Roald Dahl. The book ‘The Twits’ was the push my husband needed to shave off his beard which my children hated lol They teased him all the time after reading that book with me.

  244. Definitely Enid Blyton, as a girl I absolutlely loved the St Clare’s and Mallory Towers books x

  245. Its enid blyton for me too. im 37 and still an avid reader after starting off with her books as a youngster. My daughter is 14 and loves to read and i can still talk to her now about The Magic Faraway tree 30 years after first reading them! I also once wrote a letter to Jimmy Saville asking to meet her… my parents didnt have the heart to tell me she wasnt alive anymore 😉
