I've no idea why I like P&M. Something about the adventure of it all, the Dog's Home, learning to guddle, and the wonderful messup at the end where 'the one thing that mustn't happen' did! And it's got a happy ending which a lot of the others veer away from (not to say they are unhappy though).
It, Winter Holiday, Swallows & Amazons, Secret Water, Missee Lee, Pigeon Post and We Didn't Mean are ones I can read over and over again. The others I read every few years for the good of my soul and in case my tastes have changed. So far? No luck!
