R's Delightful Books 1946-2025 - Page 2

Delightful. For me it means: witty; original; funny; charming; adventurous; melancholy; romantic. Well, at least some mix of these qualities in every book. The list is compiled as one book per year in sequence from 1946 onwards. One book per author allowed on the list. I hope you enjoy the list and it brings back happy memories or encourages you to find something new.
