Of course, after I filmed this, I thought of about 20 more authors that I ought to have included in my list! And then I started thinking that I ought to have re-ordered them differently with some authors higher or lower on the list. It’s just too hard to choose!

Cornelia Funke
D. J. McHale
Brian Jacques
George MacDonald
Noel Streatfeild
Rick Riordan
Joan Aiken
Blue Balliett
Roald Dahl
Frank L. Baum
Suzanne Collins
Madeline L’Engle
M. I. McAllister
