Well now have the list just have to read them.

The Canterville Ghost - Oscar Wilde.
This was a lovely story suitable for kids. Was surprised how short it was having seen the film.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving
Wasn't what i thought it would be and was a little disappointed as it didn't hold me. Thought it was well written though and you could see what Irving was seeing in the people and landscape.

Have to say cheating a little on this letter, Xibalba was a Maya city and who is to say the hidden city they are living in isn't it in the forests of Guatemlala. I enjoyed the book though.


Just realized I had one for this challenge. Just need a Z to finish a-z authors.
