And a good collection of fairy tales (Andersen, Grimm, etc) to boot. Newer books that I would add to the classics list: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and also his book Coraline. I also enjoyed Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. And most recently Catherynne Valente's online YA serial, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, has captured my heart and has the feel of a classic in the making already. http://www.catherynnemvalente.com/fairyland/ I would add Madeline L’Engle’s Time Quartet series to your list.

You have a blog! You would have no reason to know, but your books form the foundation for my class on fairy tales at Indiana University South Bend. This fall, we will be using two: The Classic Fairy Tales and The Annotated Classic Fairy Tales. Anyway,to the book lists, I would add the following: 1) The 13 sequels to the Wizard of Oz, also by Baum 2) Hitty, Her First Hundred Years, by Rachel Field 3) Catherine, Called Birdy, by Karen Cushman 4) Every single Mrs. Piggle Wiggle Book, by Betty MacDonald 5) Striped Ice Cream, by Joan M. Lexau 6) The Amy and Laura Book series by Marilyn Sachs 7) Every one of the All of a Kind Family books, by Sydney Taylor 8) When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, by Judith Kerr I could go on and on and on. But I'll stop here. And again, thank you for what you do. (I am not big on fan mail or gushing, so it is rare for me to write such things for others to see.) At last! You have a blog!
