【推荐3】Can you regain the thrill of reading that you experienced as a child? Time to dust off some of the best childhood classics ever written.

Heidi by Johanna Spyri

This is the story of five-year-old Heidi, an orphan (孤儿) who is sent to live with her rough grandfather in the Swiss Alps and charms everyone she meets with her sunny personality-from the scary grandfather to Peter the shepherd, his blind grandmother and, in fact, the goats.

What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge

It tells the story of rebellious (叛逆的) Katy Carr and her violent brothers and sisters running relatively wild, despite the best efforts of their father and long-suffering aunt. There are a lot of life lessons provided in these pages but it’s never high-handed, always gentle and quietly inspiring.

The Story of Holly and Ivy by Rumer Godden

This story is about magic, Christmas and the power of making wishes. The series of events that bring Holly and Ivy together wouldn’t stand up in real life for a nano-second, but the story is so movingly told that every time you read it, your faith is restored in the wonder of Christmas-a time when dreams come true and wonders can happen.

The Flight of the Doves by Walter Macken

It presents the fast, crazy and hair-raising journey of orphaned brothers and sisters Finn and Derval Dove, on the run across England to escape the control of their evil stepfather and reach their beloved Irish granny in the west of Ireland.
