Books which I think every
child should read and own

How
many did you read before you reached the age of twelve?

Some books are heading towards cult
fiction status for both children and adults.

Enter C.S. Lewis's magical world of
Narnia, where enchanted creatures live and fierce battles are fought
between good and evil. Each of the seven books in The
Chronicles of Narnia stands alone, but together they tell the
entire history of a fantastic world that becomes as real as our own.

Stevenson's great
adventure story, set in the 18th century, was conceived in the Scottish
Highlands, where the author and his 12-year-old stepson amused themselves
by making a map that showed the location of buried treasure on an island.
The illustrations first appeared in 1949.
