It's a good question about Once and Future King--one I'll be able to answer better after I read it, I guess. I've seen it described as "children's fantasy," but reading descriptions it seems older than that. I've heard it described as something children and adults can enjoy. And since it was written long before the genre of "YA" was conceived as a marketing niche, I guess I squeezed it in there--kind of the way the Lord of the Rings gets squeezed in there now sometimes. But the books have been sitting on my shelf unread for 10 years or so, and this seemed like a good way to make myself read at least one of them.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567954521782974033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027982062971332677.post-37803993060985779262011-01-13T18:03:14.770-08:002011-01-13T18:03:14.770-08:00Although it's manageable, Once and Future King...Although it's manageable, <i>Once and Future King</i> seems to not be YA. I love it, and don't object to the classification, but do you really think of it as YA?<br /><br />I just learned we're going to be working with you again (March 19), and I wanted to check out your blog.

I'd love to get to All Quiet on the Western Front, and Dangerous LIasons (heard great things about that). I half read Uncle Tom's Cabin, it was very good, I just ran out of time.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027982062971332677.post-5027029140412391762010-12-30T18:26:43.468-08:002010-12-30T18:26:43.468-08:00Great list!
