In honour of National Children's Book Week, Lucy Mangan has written in today's Guardian about her favourite kids' books - those that taught her vital lessons about love, life, truth and camping.
Reading it, I found myself nodding in vigorous agreement over some (What Katy Did, Enid Blyton's entire oeuvre), while wondering at the same time how she could have possibly missed out some of my own favourites: Noel Streatfield, Willard Price, Rumer Godden, Roald Dahl, Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden ...
So tell me: what do you think of Lucy's choice? Which children's books taught you the biggest life lessons?
