Re: [thelionscall] Joy in Narnia
Hi Andrea,
In the case of Verne and Dumas, however, they were written with adults in mind and not children. I wonder how it happened that they became classified as children's books, also Swift's satire 'Gulliver's Travels' and even Charles Dickens' books? In the case of Verne and Swift, probably because they're fantastical and would appeal to children.
On the topic of children's books (that is, books explicitly written for children), aside from the Chronicles, what others do you take pleasure in reading now as an adult? Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys definitely don't cut it for me. I still like reading George MacDonald's fairy tales (they're out of copyright and available on Project Gutenberg for ya'll to download)...who else? I don't think I'd care to reread Enid Blyton either.
