The trouble with a lot of the classics is that they were written for forty year olds and we hand them to fourteen year olds.

I went through my childhood thinking I hated the classics, never noticing that I loved The Secret Garden and Hans Brinker and Treasure Island and the Swiss Family Robinson and those were all considered classics. I got over thinking "classic, yick!" eventually, but it took time. And now, as an adult, I tell kids that it's okay to put something down and come back to it later if it's still niggling at them. The thing to remember is that nothing becomes a classic because nobody loves it.

This.

Admittedly, the only personal example that's coming to mind isn't really classic, but my family are big fantasy fans, and I read Terry Brooks' Shanara series as a kid and loved them, but then tried his Knight and the Word and absolutely hated them. Cue a decade later, when I went back, and actually they were pretty good. They were just very different, and in some ways more adult (in the sense of dealing with recognisable adult concerns relating to our world), so when I was a kid they didn't appeal anywhere near so much.

So, basically, yes to what you said?
