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.

That's a frighteningly apt way of describing them. :-)

Maybe my tolerance for Simon R. Green's addiction to the descriptive phrase "tall, dark, and no longer handsome" actually dates back to the endless descriptions of the Wakefields' blondness and their Pacific-blue eyes or whatever it was.

Don't forget their "perfect size 6 figures"!
