Children’s Classics I would like to read ...

Children's Classics I would like to read (some of them … again)

A comment by my friend about re-reading Lord of the Rings set a similar desire in me too.

  • The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
  • A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
  • Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
