Favourite Childhood authors

[thechix0r]

The other day I was thinking about all the authors that I loved as a kid and then kind of grew out of, or they never released any other books and was wondering what authors fellow FNKers liked when they were kids

Here are some of mine:
Kit Pearson
J.K Rowling
The Stevie Diamond Detective Series
Eric Wilson

I am sure there are more :D

Let's see.... authors I read as a kid...

Shel Silverstein
Roald Dahl
Terry Brooks
Tolkien
Pierre Berton (Secret Land of OG) :)

J.K. Rowling is great but I was well into my 20's before the Potter Series was released.

[~god~]

for some reason I read a lot of Agatha Christy.
loved Sidney Sheldon.
mmm Antoine de Saint-Exupery

My friend was from England and she sent me Harry Potter when it came out here in 1998 and so I read it when I was 12 or so

Ronald Dahl!!! I loved his books, so good :D
