"Village Diary" by Miss Read
*note: Miss Read was a pseudonym. Her real name was Jessie Saint. Although her real name wasn't anywhere on the cover of the book, my local library insisted on filing all her books under S rather than R.

The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith.
Brilliant classic, gentle comedy, can become a favourite for life.
(Re Miss Read, what was that library thinking? Everyone who loves her books knows her as Miss Read and would look for them under R.)

The Children of the New Forest - Frederick Marryat
Fond memories of this as the class book in primary school. I re-read as an adult and realised it fitted seamlessly with the period of history we were studying at the time, so it was probably chosen to underline some of the historical facts for those in the class who didn't do the reading homework.
Rollicking good yarn and was much enjoyed by my own children.
