I am of that era too, but luckily being in a Commonwealth country I got Gerald Durrell and Diana Wynne Jones instead...
We had those too, fortunately! All of my formative Jones languishes in storage, but my childhood copy of The Amateur Naturalist (1982) is right in my office behind me. I am glad you dodged this particular bullet, nonetheless.
