I would love to meet the authors on your list, too. A Wrinkle in Time was also my childhood favorite, along with the rest of the series.<br /><br />You mentioned Beatrix Potter.

I didn't even think about Paul, but you're right, he was a very interesting person. And I love Dr. Seuss! How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of my all-time favorite Christmas books. And I loved E. B. White's books as a child, but when I (very recently) discovered that he was the White listed in Strunk & White I had to love him even more. <br /><br />Excellent list.A Mittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017133301345946872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-78725455454332436212011-07-12T09:21:26.357-07:002011-07-12T09:21:26.357-07:00Great list!
