Favourite Authors

I've loved reading since I was very small - my first book was bought for me as a gift by my grandparents, it was Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I still have the book here on my bookshelf, still a treasured possession over half a century after I was given it.

Other than Lewis Carroll, there are a host of authors whose books I've read and enjoyed over the years. This page will be my attempt to list them, with a link to their Goodreads page in case you want to find out more about them.
