Your first two are favorites of mine as well, but strangely The BFG is one of the few Dahl books I've never finished. I've reread James and the Giant Peach a thousand times when I was young and it's still a favorite escape from reality book. The Secret Garden is another.
I am absolutely entranced by the photos of the Cincinnati library. I had to share them with my dad, who was born and grew up partially in Cincy. That photography site has some wonderful photos of long ago Detroit as well. Thanks for sharing it!
Oh! The Secret Garden!! What a wonderful add. I love both the book and the musical adaptation.
Agreed that there are so many wonderful corners of that photography site. I scrolled through all sorts of photos of the old grocery stores and then stumbled across a history of NYC blizzards. What an incredible glimpse into the everyday of days past.
