WHATBOOK..?

JACQUELINE WILSON

…are you reading now?

A LONDON Child Of The 1870s by Molly Hughes — a delightful autobiography. I am always fascinated by anything to do with Victorian times.

…would you take to a desert island?

JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte. I first read it when I was ten or 11 and have read it many times since — it never fails to delight me.

…first gave you the reading bug?

PROBABLY good old Enid Blyton’s Faraway Tree books, which I read when I was five or six.

…left you cold?

VARIOUS books haven’t worked for me, but I find that if I go back after ten years or so, I finally see what all the fuss was about!
