Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery - The 3rd in the series!

I'm noticing a trend here with Montgomery books! I loved reading Rilla of Ingleside for the first time after reading the other books in the series many times.
ReplyDeleteThe Brownies: Their Book by Palmer Cox. I saw this on a list of children's classics and remembered seeing adorable Brownie images long, long ago. The challenge was a perfect reason to investigate, as I usually don't have children's books in my TBR pile.
ReplyDeleteI decided to go for an adventure in Wonderland with Alice.
ReplyDeleteI read Ferien auf Saltkrokan, by Astrid Lindgren (Seacrow Island in English).

Hi Karen, the Linky isn't displaying so here's my link - Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, it was time to renew with Mr. Linky and I was out of town. It's fixed now. I'll add your link.
DeleteAnne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery is the 4th book in the Anne of Green Gables series. Anne spends three years as Principal of the High School in Summerside.

I read Peter Pan, and its tone was quite different from what I expected. Really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteJust finished Black Beauty (tough read for animal lovers!).

Not my favourite out of MacDonald's books, but still with a certain charm: At the Back of the North Wind.
ReplyDeleteI just finished 'James and the Giant Peach.' I'm really excited about reading more Roald Dahl in the future!
ReplyDeleteI read A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
ReplyDeleteI read "The Water Babies" by Charles Kingsley but did not enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteJust linked 'Linnets & Valerians' by Elizabeth Goudge.

As @The Thompsons I, too, decided to go with Alice. I had never read it in English, and it was a fantastic experience!
ReplyDeleteJust reread The Little Prince. Oh how I love this charming little tale. https://100greatestnovelsofalltimequest.blogspot.com/2016/03/le-petit-prince-little-prince-by.html
ReplyDeleteI read Little House in the Big Woods, the first book in the Little House on the Prairie series, by Laura Ingells Wilder. It was such a great book, and I learned so much about life on the frontier.
ReplyDeleteI read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to my nieces. They enjoyed it a lot, but I hated it!
ReplyDeleteThe Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goodge is entrancing, but it does seem dated. My granddaughter is interested in fantasy, which you could say this is, but it may be too much of a fairy tale for her to like. I'll have to try it on her and see what she says.
ReplyDeleteFinished The Secret Garden last night. It was really quite charming!
ReplyDeleteIt was more of a teen book but I hope The Luckiest Girl by Beverly Cleary counts as a "children's" classic. Cleary is one of my all time favorite children's authors so I wanted to use her books in the challenge but I had read all of her books that were more for children. Anyway--let me know if you think this doesn't qualify and I'll find another one to read. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI thought the allegory aspects of The Little Prince would probably go over the heads of many children.
ReplyDeleteI've read Pat of Silver Bush, one of L.M. Montgomery's lesser known heroines. Absolutely loved it :)
ReplyDeleteI read Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, but I don't know how to edit my earlier link; as that one doesn't add up with my wrap up post, so I added a new one- sorry! Entry 6, Carmen @ The Reading Trash Queen, can be deleted!
ReplyDeleteI read A Wrinkle in Time, and I did not like it. The allegory was too obvious....and the teenage relationship between Meg and Calvin was so unrealistic it was ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI read Linnets and Valerians.
