Childhood nostalgia poll

[rachelmanija]

Please reminisce, fondly or not, about any of these, or other books read in childhood, especially if they seem to have, deservedly or undeservedly, vanished from the shelves. I'd love to hear about non-US, non-British books, too.

The main series missing from your list for me are the Norah of Billabong series and the Silver Brumby books (though there is a distinct lack of Alcott, now I think of it, and what about the Green Knowe books and the Dark is Rising sequence?).

Enid Blyton was a forbidden author in our house, but my grandparents had the Faraway Tree, which I loved, and later I stayed at a friend's house for a holiday and she had all the Malory books, or perhaps all the St Clare ones, I can't remember. And in the school series, did you ever read Antonia Forest's Marlow books?
