Hello, EF!
Well, when I was little, my mother took me to watch Cats and I really enjoy it. Some years later, I discovered the play was based in a book from T.S Eliot. After that, I read all his poems and I can spend a day just watching Cats over and over again. That guy is a genius. One of the bestest and that's why from all the others great authors he is my favorite one.

William Golding is my favorite Oxford author. Lord of the Flies was the first book I read in English. I remember I couldn’t put it down, and it felt so good to be able to read a book in English. Back then I didn’t really understand the underlying meaning of the book and it’s characters, but I have since then read the book twice.
Lewis Caroll is my favorite author because i love is fantasy and his books are phylosophical. Yeah i love his books.
My favourite Oxford author is Lewis Carroll. I like his tales because he plays with logic games and that means that it is a challenge reading. What is amazing is that he wrote a lot of poems and songs with a hidden meaning to make you think at the same time you read. A part of that he invented Alice, who is a strong female character and it that Century it was strange to find a character like her.

@@eflivethelanguage thank you so much!
My favourite author is William Golding, he wrote the Lord of Flies. My teacher once recommended the book, because she knew I liked fantasy mixed with a hint of the mysterious. It turned out to be the best story I have ever read.

My favourite Oxford author is Lewis Carroll. What I value most about this author is that he wrote a book that can be read not only by children but also by adults. who haven't lost the spirit of adventure. It is fascinating that the perception of this novel changes with the next stages of life - the conscious recipient will see the hypnotic poetry of sleep, the wonderfully grotesque game and the ambiguities that are unrecognizable by the child. For me, the magic of this book is that you can read it every day and every day understand it in a completely different way. Each reader can find an interpretation closest to his heart, because the author gave a wide field for our imagination. His mathematical mind in a duet with writing talent created an unforgettable work that shows how far human imagination could reach.

I like reading English books
My favorite Oxford author is Lewis Carroll. I love his book Alice in the wonderland because it is a story told by the author to his loved ones to entertain them on the boat ride . Besides, the book is so full of imagination it is one of the most creative books I have read so far. it is entertaining for both children and adults and the characters of the book are all classic, such as the Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts, Cheshire Cat, White Rabbit. Many of the episodes are also classic. This book brings to the world so much fun.
I'm a fan of J.R.R Tolkien. The reason is I like the way he wrote the Lord of the rings. I like the tone of the story and how the story knots have been made. His imaginations and ideas are fantastic.
My favorite Oxford writer is Oscar Wilde because he is able to relate twentieth-century issues in a current way, so the reader is not that apprehensive about the trajectory of the characters, because you also end up identifying yourself. You can see yourself there, whatever the way: happy, mad, bad, sad, or just being a human being. And it's that what I love him. He critize, but revels that we are just normal human being. Besides that, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" it's one of my favorite books in the whole world.

Hi, I think that my favorite Oxford author is... C.S. Lewis. My favorite book is The Chronicles of Narnia. I really like this kind of story and how he plays about the scenary and characteristics are every time perfect. I think that a story like the Chronicles of Narnia it's important to read because nowadays people had lost a lot of Fantasy... and this is so sad....It's important for everyone use fantasy....because u can escape from reality that sometimes it's not so easy. And book like this can help u if u have a hard time and it gives u a happiness moment. Byeeeee😁😁😁💖💖 and a wonderful new year!!!😁

My favourite author from Oxford is C.S. Lewis because he taught me so much wisdom through his Chronicles of Narnia. I love him! And I wish one day I could write like him! 😃
My favorite book is Alice's adventures in wonderland by lewis Carol.
And I hope that I get it😊
Best regards
I am really interested in Dorothy Sayers. Not only because she was one of the first women to get a degree from Oxford, but also because I would like to read more crime and mystery novels.
Saying she is my favorite wouln't be true, as I have never read a book by her. However, I already own copies of Tolkiens, Lewis and Wildes books (an author I adore), so Dorothy Sayers it is.

My favorite book is The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wildeya, because it tells how a man is able to sell his soul to the devil or give anything to have an eternal beauty. I think the drama of this book is not very far from what happens in our times.
I really like J.R.R Tolkin, The world in his books are wonderful to imagine.
I just don't know why you didn't say anything about J.K.Rowling and her magic world 😉
