NP here. Would you mind sharing some of your favorite British kids lit and class kids lit recommendations? [/quote]

The original Paddington series.
The original mary poppin series by travers.
I like the secret garden and little princess but there are a lot of colonialist themes in there so you need to work through those
E. Nesbit fantasy books (5 children and it and the sequels)
Tolkien, obviously.
Lloyd Alexander prydain series
I also like Peter Pan just as a piece of writing but the themes are rather problematic in a bunch of ways so I don’t give it a whole hearted recommendation
Alice in wonderland and through the looking glass

I’ll try to think of more!  [/quote]

Swallows and Amazons series

More for girls: Chalet School series

Thank you! These are great suggestions. [/quote]
