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.

"My Friend Flicka" and its sequel-ish things. Everything by Marguerite Henry.

Me too. Also Elyne Mitchell's Silver Brumby series, The Saddle Club, Thoroughbred -- because these series had girls and weren't just about racing, unlike The Black Stallion series (which I also read, but didn't love as much).

I didn't even care about real horses that I recall; just the books. And Marguerite Henry could draw.
