I know I read some Blyton, but I don't remember that book. I remember one which was an adaptation of The Canterbury Tales. I wasn't terribly keen on her books, as I said before, I went for "boys" books like Biggles more than "girls" books. Are they still classified like that today? <br /><br />I guess I just never thought of classifying children's stories under the fantasy genre label before.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-41991428890715723062010-08-07T09:12:35.395-04:002010-08-07T09:12:35.395-04:00I never read any of Elizabeth Goudge's kiddibo...I never read any of Elizabeth Goudge's kiddibooks, but I loved her historical books when I was in my teens. They all had a kind of spiritual or mystical component.<br /><br />Did you not read Enid Blyton? The Magic Faraway Tree and others for the very young were definitely fantasy. And of course, fairy tales. They don't come much more fantastic than The Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Cinderella!Satima Flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427849961195148899noreply@blogger.com
