When We Were Very Young, by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepherd I've had since I was about five, so that would have been 1966. And Now we Are Six, I got (surprise) for my sixth birthday. Both are hardback editions. Winnie the Pooh and the House at Pooh Corner I got not long after, although I can't be sure of the chronology. I still have all of them, and they are definitely the books I've owned the longest.
I had lots of others - Famous Fives, Secret Sevens, Narnias etc, but they were paperbacks mostly and didn't survive. I also have a few much older books, from the late 1800s and also the 1930s/40s that I inherited more recently. |
