At the invitation of the British bookstore Waterstone’s, Philip Pullman has put together a list of “essential books.” You can view the list here and read about how he made his selections here. There are some titles I’m looking forward to exploring some day and others that I was just glad to see.
I’m so glad to see We Didn’t Mean to Go to Sea by Arthur Ransome here. My sisters and I were just talking the other day about the series (the fact that we still reread them regularly) and this book in particular. My own favourite is Winter Holiday.
