    Not so much a book but poems by john keats especially ode on melancholy.

    I always believe joy always comes after melancholy and if you dont experience the bitterness you cant appreciate the sweetness.

    As a young child I loved Bread and Jam with Francis series by Russell Hoban. I loved it so much I bought the whole hard copy series as an adult.
    My sister gave me a book when I was a pre teen called Are you there God? It's me Margaret, again I have purchased the book as it really has stuck with me. Being a pre teen is often not fun!
    As a young teen it was poems, I bought the book I used for High School as I loved so many poems in it, my absolute favourite was I could not stop for death by Emily ****inson. I loved how excited she was about death and not afraid.
    Bit of theme with buying child hood books
    I also have The Winnie Pooh book series that my DH has read to my kids. Winnie the Pooh is really just a classic and so sweet, just like what child hood should be in a perfect world
