Sadly, I didn't read a lot of the classics while in school. So now I'm trying to catch up and read as many as I can. So my question to all of you is what your favorite classics are and why?
I second The Secret Garden! I've read it as a child and as an adult (numerous times) and loved it equally well every time. Sure wish I knew what happened to my copy!
Another amazing children's story is Watership Down. I never read it as a child, but there is a lot of depth in it, and the characters are extremely well-written. The inclusion of the lapine language is also a fun treat, although not one of the more meaningful parts of the book except in that it gives you a greater understanding of the character's thought process.
