The Narnia series.
Later, King Solomon's Mines (well written, swashbuckling story, but, by today's mores, oh so racist).
Later still, Penthouse letters.

The Twits was a personal favourite but loved all Roald Dahl.
Also remember Stig Of The Dump.
The Iron Man
Also have vague memories of a series about a vampire who only used to eat Ketchup. Can't remember what it's called now. Vlad? Over 30 years ago now!

Bob Westall was our Art Teacher at Sir John Deane's Grammar School in Northwich back in the 1970's.
He was bit of a miserable bugger but I suppose he had to deal with a bunch of non-artistic teenagers who just wanted the lesson to finish.
Never read the book but all the reviews are very good, I must get around to it at some point!

Alfred Hitchcock wrote a series of books about amateur detectives (boys version of Nancy Drew I suppose), the 3 investigators I think, Jupiter Jones was the main character.
Later would have been The Hobbit and Lord of the Flies
