Charlotte's Web
I used to read Charlotte's Web to the sprogs when they were younger.
Probably the most upsetting thing I've ever read was the line, "Charlotte died".*

Had to pretend I had some dust in my eye.

Still gets me now.

*apart from court summons, post-mortem reports, credit card bills etc

Ah fuck, I'd totally forgotten about the Silver Sword
now I've got all emotional in the office for apparently no reason...I may have to go outside with "something in my eye"

great book that
a brilliant junior school teacher used that book along with 'Danny Champion of the world' and a few others to ignite in me a love of books that I still have today

I owe that man a lot

Cheers Mr Salisbury!

I went...
...straight from Biggles to Playboy.

But I still read books aloud to my children at school whatever age they were. Danny Champion of the World was a particular favourite, as was Rebecca's World, by Terry Nation.
