I have an animated version of that that I've been meaning to watch for the last couple of weeks. And superbly animated it is too. Especially the sections done by my talented brother.  It's also a rather wonderful love story too with the elderly couple superbly voiced by John Mills and Peggy Ashcroft. |

 This was a great favourite. I still have our treasured copy of Old Perisher - the dust-cover's very tatty now. A relatively modern favourite I always read to children at Christmas is Harvey Slumfenburger's Christmas Present:  The unresolved ending always provokes animated discussion. IGI, is your class too old for this one? I should imagine it appeals to all ages but maybe your children would find it a bit young. I love it though! |

Alors, mes enfants! Un spectacle inoubliable!  A concept for a future production of Les Troyens. |

Just noticed the elephant musketeers with their banner "Un pour tous, Tous pour un" which reminds me of the Round the Horne take on Dumas:
Musketeer: Our motto is One for all, and All for one.
Kenneth Williams: Oo, and I'm one and all.

The stories might not have been very different, as a similar formula was used for all the adventures, but we used to look forward to the new Rupert annual from my Grandma every Christmas.  In fact my parents loved him so much they named my younger brother after him and the poor kid was known as Bear throughout his school years. In mitigation, my parents plead that Rupert only appeared on TV along with his awful song the year my brother started school. What great timing!  |

Ah, Rupert. My father used to read them to my brother, at bed time. Brother stayed awake but my father went to sleep. The pattern was repeated when my brother had his son.
It's odd, considering I came from a house filled with books, but I can't remember my parents reading to me at all. They must have done at one stage, but my mother told me I taught myself to read, and I think they left me to it.
My elder son loved being read to, but the younger was impatient about it and wanted to do it for himself. He is by far the keener reader of the two.

Are we allowed to stretch the topic of this thread to comics? I didn't really read books much at all until my teens. Until then it was a Saturday morning splurge of pocket money on comics and sweets, lunchtime vomit, then sports on TV. Anyway, this was I think my childhood favourite...  |
