I struggle with mental health and feelings of unsafety. What's a book with nothing heavy or gruesome, and a playful adventurous feeling, possibly to do with the natural world? I remember reading wonderful adventure books as a child. I have read the ones I had 1000 times and would like new ones!

I don't mind whether it's technically adults or children's fiction! Just as long as it's an actual novel, longer the better. Kids adventures in books are always very fun. I also love stories from the point of view of animals. I just want it to be lighthearted and colourful in vibe. No deep messages.

Some books I absolutely loved and read until they fell apart are:

Corfu trilogy

Swallows and Amazons

James Herriot's vet books

The Famous Five by enid blyton Little house on the prairie

The Silver Brumby series (from point of view of horses)

I really loved the beginning of Watership Down but didn't appreciate the trauma later

Something like that?

Thank you very much!

edit: thanks so much guys! it's going to take me a while to look through your suggestions and this list of books is going to keep me occupied for a long time. really appreciated!!
