At Libre Livre we are passionate about books, buying them, borrowing them, making, holding & mending them; and above all, reading them. We believe that life without books would be much the poorer for it, and are shocked to read from time to time how many people do live virtually book free. A love of books cannot be started too young. A few of my early favourites were:
The Little Grey Men by BB
Jennings and Derbyshire by Anthony Buckeridge
Just William by Richmal Crompton
Five Children and It by E Nesbit
Biggles by Captain W E Johns
Billy Bunter by Frank Richards
before I moved on to Wodehouse, John Moore's Brensham trilogy, Kipling and so on.
But, that's nothing. A favourite posession of my 2 year old nephew was, long before he could read, "The Collected Works of Oscar Wilde"
