# read as a teenager, not as a child.
therefore it comes in that category for me.

Plus the skelingtons in the dark dark house are 12.2% more ace on the Michaelson-Butcliffe scale.

# I had Enid f Blyton and CS Lewis.
and I am not unhappy at that fact. The wishing chair and the faraway tree are some of the happiest memories of my childhood. I also liked the naughtiest girl but I think that might be a bit weird.

# I read Enid Blyton when I was tiny
but Fungus the Bogeyman will always be dear to me as my dad read it to me (and happened to look quite like Fungus at the time, except with a comedy 80s Tosh Lines tache as well)

# sadly I have
no idea what you speak of. My reading was very advanced and I was well through TLOTR by the age of 11 so my teen years were mostly spent reading Sci-fi / fantasy classics and encyclopaedia brittanica.

# It's Raymond Briggs, not some sort of 'reading for the empty of skull' prescribed toss.
Funnily enough, my reading was also very advanced, but I still enjoyed having my father read to me.

# I enjoyed having my father
in the same country, but that was a rare occasion. having him read to me never happened once.

# Its tongue-in-cheek existentialism
is unusual in a children's book.
What are we frightening them FOR?
Does it do any ULTIMATE GOOD?
Or even any ULTIMATE BAD?
