Sir
I think the books I most enjoyed in early childhood were Miss Edgeworth’s series of Early Lessons, Frank, Rosamond and Harry and Lucy.

Mrs Whately’s Fairfax family
Anna Ross
Miss Strickland’s Rival Crusoes

Also very early
Scott’s Poems1
Tales of A Grandfather
The Talisman
Ivanhoe
Robinson Crusoe
Lamb’s Mrs Leicesters School
Tales from Shakespeare

This is all I can recollect of really standard books, which I read when very young

Yours truly
C M Yonge
