Not my opinion, but the results of British opinion poll of adults asked about their favourite children's books and/or series of books.

Enid Blyton came in 1st and 3rd and Ransome managed to just break the Top Ten at No. 9 but he managed to beat the Lord of the Rings (but not The Hobbit). Here is the Top Ten listing.

1 Famous Five
2 Chronicles of Narnia
3 The Faraway Tree (Blyton again)
4 The Hobbit
5 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
6 Black Beauty
7 Treasure Island
8 Biggles
9 Swallows and Amazons
10 Lord of the Rings
