Wow... That brings me some sweet memories (9yo)

Mine was the first Amyr Klink's books. The excellent "100 days between Sean and Sky".
Have read all of his works to date, but this is stlll one of my favs

Thor Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki about 1951/52 the same year the film came out. I saw the film and was given the book for Xmas. As I was in NZ it may well have been 1952 as we always were a few months behind in getting films.
