Favourite Bedtime Story (BBC Radio 2)

[Janet]

I posted the long-list of 32 books in this thread a few weeks ago. The 32 have now been short-listed to the final 8 thanks to everyone who voted online.

 

I can't add a poll to that thread, so this one is for you to vote for your favourite of the 8 short-listed. Clearly your favourite from last time might not be here.

 

The books are listed in alphabetical order by title.

Definitely Winnie the Pooh for me, the Taoist bear.

[Janet]

I voted for Winnie-The-Pooh (as I also did in the first round) as I have such fond memories of this as one of my favourite ever children's book - together with its sequel, The House at Pooh Corner.

[libri vermis]

I used to have a Winnie the Pooh teddy bear. I miss it.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl

[chesilbeach]

Five on a Treasure Island - Enid Blyton. There was a period when I was little when all I read was Enid Blyton, and the Famous Five were my favourites for a long time.

[Vanwa]

So many of these were favourites, but mostly my mum picked amusing bedtime reads such as Dahl.

[Stephanie2008]

The Gruffalo is my young cousins favourite book, but I had never heard of it until I read it to her

[Inver]

I would vote Winnie the Pooh I think.
