Nothing Like A Trip Down Memory Lane

Francis Bacon once said ‘some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.’ Here at MS Ireland, we think that children’s classics are so special that they deserve the full treatment and should be feasted on, over and over again!  With their fabulous ability to address multiple audiences, it can’t be denied that children and adults can both benefit from their story.

Have you ever re-read a childhood classic? Isn’t it amazing how as you grow up, your eyes are opened up to an entirely new world, a world of underlying issues and meanings. It really is quite something. So in order to celebrate the joy that children’s classics bring to people of all ages, we decided to create a fun ‘Nostalgia’ survey for you to fill out. Whether you were a fairytale fanatic, loved hard facts and figures or enjoyed being scared silly by sci-fi and horror, we'd love to know what rocked your boat as a child reader, and what continues to thrill you today. 

We're hoping to get at least 200 respondents so it would be great if you could spare a few minutes to take part - and why not tell your friends! We look forward to sharing the results. Maybe you could even jump on the MS Ireland bandwagon and re-read your favourite childhood book?! Hmm, now there’s a thought..
