message 1: by Fariha (new)

Fariha i loved almost all these books when i was a kid!!


message 3: by Debra (new)

Debra I love re-buying some of these for my grandkids now. I always read them before gifting of course!


message 4: by Laura (new)

Laura So many old favourites here! I did notice though that Alice is listed in three different editions (Wonderland, looking glass and both, and that little Women is listed twice, which may thin out the votes that should all be going to the same books.


message 5: by Laura (new)

Laura There's actually 5 Alice listings so far and I think Black Beauty is twice.


message 6: by Laura (new)

Laura But I really love this list!!! Thanks!!!

I ran a "combine duplicates," which should hopefully have taken care of them ...
