Famous Five are tops

Enid Blyton's Famous Five have come top of a poll to discover which books today's British adults most enjoyed as children.

More than 1000 people between the ages of 25 and 54 were asked to name their favourite children's book while growing up.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the 1950 fantasy tale by C.S. Lewis and the best loved of the Narnia Chronicles, came second, followed by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, published in 1883. J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings was sixth.
