The Cay is a coming of age book, but it is, more importantly about implicit racial bias and the importance of judging people by their moral center not their outward appearance. My sons read this in high school and it clearly had a positive effect on them.
I'm so glad I finally read The Sherwood Ring! I love a well written children's book, and this one had a little of all the best things--adventure, romance, military intrigue... so much fun!
I read The Princess and the Goblin, as well as its sequel The Princess and Curdie by George MacDonald for this category. The other stories in this collection count towards the 19th-century category.

ReplyDeleteI'm always pleased to fit in something by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Jane of Lantern Hill is a delightful read.
ReplyDeleteThis has been on my to-be-read list for ages, but I never seem to get around to it. Maybe 2022 will be the year!
DeleteI read Anne of Green Gables for the first time! I love the movie, and it was interesting to see some of the minor differences in the book.
ReplyDeleteA favourite of mine!
