(Mostly) Children’s
Fantasy
It’s tough to make Book Lists Manageable.
You see a title you jot it down and insert it into a list waiting to be
read. You don’t think of things like convenience and organization. Titles, and subjects and authors get jumbled
into a mess. But because we have lives we tend to let it stay a mess. To some
degree I have untangled that mess into a more organized and not so perfect
Manageable Book List.
There are books in this category that do
belong or could belong in other categories. Some of them could use an update if
the books listed are in a series. That is why I use the term Mostly in the
category heading. But one cannot spend one’s time managing book lists as then
there would be no time to read any of them.
Here are listed stories that sound like they would interesting to delve
into, some books more than others. But here is a variety of them to choose
from.
I haven’t read them all nor will I most likely
do so. But it’s good to know that they exist and are out there in the
world. Clink on the Listmania lists to
learn more about them. Books listed below are pretty much in chronological
order of first publication and all works by that same author. Look in other lists for more works by the
same author. Some of their more popular books are listed in other
categories. Here are some, perhaps, some
of their lesser known works that fit better into their category.
