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.

More things I forgot:

The Borrowers books

Joan Aiken - I read a bunch of her short story collections and the first five or so of her alt-hist series. I haven't read the latter in a long time but the short stories hold up pretty well. I remembered some of them as rather bleak, and surprisingly they still are. Particularly "Hope."

Oh, the Borrowers, yes!

I loved the Borrowers books; even for the bits of the books I didn't like as story, I loved the idea of them. I still say that the Borrowers must have taken my pen, or whatever.
