Classic, Non-SFF Book Series

Most of the book series lists on this website are of the more modern kind, or focused on YA or SFF books, so I decided to do something different.
In this list, you'll find some book series (in a broader sense) written or started before 1950, of the kind that can't be so easily considered "genre fiction", though I did decide to include some crime fiction. Series comprised of more than ten volumes only got one entry.
