A really useful resource: thanks!
I find Judith Viorst inclusion puzzling. She was mostly writing in the 1970s. And, she American. I like her–who doesn’t like her Alexander story books? I read her columns in Redbook and elsewhere as a teenager. She just doesn’t fit with the other authors.
Ooh, I have bookshelf envy! I love Persephone’s books, but my very modest collection certainly can’t compete with this, haha
I am very proud of my collection, and tell myself I will one day read many of them again.
This is such a good idea! What do you do when one of your favourites, that you already own in a grey cover comes out as a classic? I’m stuck over The Fortnight in September. . .
I haven’t ever bought the classics, just the grey covers. I have job shelving those!
