You mean they aren't in people's parent's library? Okay, it was more a large alcove, but it still had all these classic books on the shelves.

Well then you're fortunate to have them in your alcove. Some other households didn't, and probably had different books instead. I recall having Bible picture books, Golden Books and at least one Golden Book omnibus, and later books in my (Christian) school library and things that I bought through a school book club. I don't think any of those books turned up in my high school library, which concentrated on more mature reading.

I know, for someone who values such classic books as mentioned up-thread, it sounds like my library was missing something. Maybe it was? But of all of those mentioned up-thread, the only ones that I recognise is the Waterbabies (and then only vaguely), and the Wizard of Oz, which for a long time I didn't even know had more after the first book. I probably would have read them if I'd had any access to them.

But mostly, I went from being reluctant to read much straight into reading mature novels at the age of 11. My first author was Steven Lawhead, who I admit is probably not well known. My second was David Eddings, because I spotted a display of "The Diamond Throne" when it was first released and thought the blurb looked interesting. David Eddings was a good author to grow up reading IMO.
