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.

Well, Wiki (that bastion of respectability) says that basically Webster was Conflicted, and wrote out that conflict in the story (as you say). When I re-read it recently, it did seem to eventually back off its approval. (And certainly Sally wasn't, in the end, a fan. Just a Nice Lady Trying To Do Good.)
