Could be the book you loved the most, the series you daydreamed about, book that inspired you, fascinated you, your comfort read…anything.
And why.
I LOVED the Anne McCaffrey Pern books. I would walk around daydreaming about new adventures set in the books’ world. The Dragonsong books really connected my love of music with my love of fantasy (and animals).
It depends on the age we’re talking, but The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark gave me a fascination with owls that has lasted for the best part of four decades. I moonlight as a volunteer at a raptor rescue centre, and I’m possibly the only medical student in my school to have practised drug metabolism and clearance calculations on prescriptions for a great grey owl.
