This is a wonderful list of books!
ReplyDeleteCurious to know the origins of the list....
Tempted to read some myself to read and relax...
Glad to see my favortie Stuart Little on the list...I still have my childhood copy!
My list is a combination of books from lists that I came across randomly, curriculum, and lists recommended by trusted friends. I've homeschooled my daughter for 9 years, so we've read many of these books and I can confidently recommend a majority of them.
DeleteStuart Little is wonderful, isn't it? Perhaps you should re-visit it!
I basically just glanced at this list (it's a slight bit intimidating, and I highly commend you for putting it together), but I noticed a good bunch of Lloyd Alexander - woo hoo! I love him. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, C.S. Lewis is THE BEST.... though I would say his Space Trilogy belongs on a YA or even on an Adult list - it's not exactly children's lit in my opinion. A bit too dark and intense. The third book (That Hideous Strength) is actually subtitled as "A Modern Fairy-Tale for Grownups."
Looking forward to this new adventure of yours!
Yes, it is long. I plan on splitting the books into age levels and making a chronological list at some point. I'm working on it.
DeleteAlexander is one author that I haven't read yet but I've heard good things about him! I thought about adding Lewis' Space Trilogy, but there are so many higher concepts in it that I've left it out ….. for now. It was hard to make a cut-off on the books for older children. Some older lists have Dickens, Walter Scott, etc. included, evidence that the reading level of children historically was much higher than it is now. I think my master list will be under "perpetual construction"!
Wow, what a list! My first instinct looking at this is how could you have left anything off, but I've found some "missing." :) I've only read one of the Moomin books by Tove Jansson (Finn Family Moomintroll) but I found it absolutely delightful, and I've been assured that the others are as well. If you like anything that plays with the sounds of language and/or unusual fairy tales, I'd highly recommend James Thurber's The 13 Clocks. It's an absolute linguistic delight. I also don't see any Roald Dahl (and I know some readers are put off by his personal life), but I read quite a few of his books growing up. Alas, it's been too long ago, so I don't remember a favorite. If, once you read A Wrinkle in Time, decide you like L'Engle, she wrote quite a few other children's books (let me know if you want a list). Also, L.M. Montgomery may be best known for her Anne books, but she wrote many others and some readers prefer the Emily books. (The first is Emily of New Moon.) One other note, my memory of George MacDonald's Lilith is that it's actually for adults. And now I should probably back away carefully before I double the length of my own list…!
ReplyDeleteAh! I deserve to be bonked over the head for forgetting the Moomin books! Yikes! They absolutely will be added. I'll try to read the The 13 Clocks and see what I think. I notice that my daughter has read his The Wonderful O, so I'll have to ask her what she thought of it. I've only read one Dahl a long time ago and for some reason it put me off him so I deliberately didn't include any of his. However, I admit I do need to check him out again, so I'll put that on my to-do list. I was wiffle-waffling with L'Engle. Sometimes I find her writing a little weird but it could be because I'm not getting it. I'd like to read some more of hers before I put her on. Yes, the rest of Montgomery's books will be added. I read the whole Anne series last year and Rilla of Ingleside was my favourite. I find most of MacDonald's books could be for adults too, like Lewis, but I'll check out Lilith. Thanks!
DeleteI'd love to see your list one day!
I'm glad if I was helpful--I know some books are very much love them or hate them. I actually do have a children's classics list posted! I'm sure it needs updated (with all the Moomin books, for one thing), but the current version is here. Oh dear, now I'm wanting to start reading some of these now…
DeleteAh, I found your list and a few others fun ones as well! You've tempted me as well and, if you don't mind, I plan to "borrow" from your list. It's much more international than mine.
DeleteWow! What a list!! Very impressive
ReplyDeleteI can help you with some Australian children's classics too :-)
I noticed the Ian Serralier's on you list, but not The Silver Sword (one of my childhood favourites).
DeletePerhaps Escape to Warsaw is the title given to the same story in the US?
Yes, it's the same book, just a different title in the U.S. Don't you hate it when they do that? ;-)
DeleteI'd love a couple of Aussie children's classics to add.
I took Amanda's advice and read The 13 Clocks by James Thurber. I do hope you will add it to you 'master list'.....it was a wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteI've put it on hold at my library and will read it when I return from vacation. I'm so glad you liked it! I see it has a number of stars so it must been a fun read!
DeleteAugust update:
ReplyDeleteOwl Babies (1975) - strong point: illustrations are beautiful and well crafted. Illustrator studied art in London and Florence,
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) - Strong point: linguistic literarture for children (puns, allusions, rhyme etc)
Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates (1865) Strong point: none I could find, this was a disappointing book..
I saw your very thorough review of Hans Brinker. That's too bad. Now you've made me curious and I'll need to read it. I wonder what made it a classic?
DeleteThat has puzzled me too. Times were different then and curious people could get a glimpse of Dutch history and culture without much intellectual effort. Perhaps children tend to be less critical about the writing and just love a story about family working hard to be happy and healthy. Happy endings are always popular.
