This was the book I chose and it quite literally changed my life. I had always liked books and had learned to read quite early, but this was the book that turned me into a reader. I'm pretty sure I've reread the entire series at least twenty times over the years. So much love for these characters. Do you know if there is any film or tv show based on those stories? Cassedy Burns Great bbc series! Special effects are obviously not up to modern expectations but if you liked the book the mini series will not disappoint.
