My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

all of my booksI have somewhere in the region of 300 of them, the most prized being my complete collection of Willard Price, my very early Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass with colour plates, and the very very old and beautiful-smelling copy of Kipling's Just So Stories.
That book goes a long way to explaining why I'm like I am, I'm certain of it.
that is also courtesy of my dad, who used to read it to me when I was very young.
dawning realisation: my dad is great. yay dad!

Willard Price...That takes me back. Mine are in my folks' attic. I read them to death when I was a nipper; they were my favourite books by a mile. Now, as a grownup, I'm scared to re-read them, in case they're actually, y'know, crap.

I reread most of them a couple of years ago

vI used to love the Willard Price books too. I do reading volunteering now with 10 year olds, and some of them are still into them.
