Childhood nostalgia poll

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.

[Poll #1720139]

I also read Edward Eager and E. Nesbit! Let's be friends.

Edward Eager!



And because of him I read some E. Nesbit, although not enough to consider myself any kind of authority (mostly the Psammead series).

And me! Kids travelling in time, hurray! So also Hilda Lewis, The Ship That Flew, and Uttley's A Traveller in Time (though I never cared for Mary Queen of Scots even as a kid.)
