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.

Yeah, exactly--I know intellectually that they were (mostly) written after (most of) the Bobbsey Twins books, but they feel at least as old.

I also remember that they certainly did a lot of traveling. They were an amazingly good-natured family to begin with, but it was particularly notable that, on the sixth week of their European vacation, the four-year-old was still sweet and chipper. ;)
