I've never read any of them *hangs head in shame* - I'd never even heard of any of them before moving to this country.

I did try reading Swallows and Amazons last year, because I am certain I would have adored the books had I discovered them as a child, but something about the portrayal of Mother in the first chapter set my teeth on edge, and I set it aside. (In my defence, I was so tired and shellshocked I was hardly able to get into anything I tried to read the first few months I was in this job. Maybe I'll try again.)

Shame on you! (although I suppose being brought up in forrin parts does give you a bit of a let-out ;-))
