Books Enjoyed Last Century

These are some of the books that I loved prior to 1999. There are not nearly enough children's books because I simply can't remember that far back! I knowingly omitted all the Enid Blyton books that gave me so much joy because there were just too many. And I am proudly Canadian so the list is a bit heavy that way.
