Forgotten Book Resources

The purpose of this site is to discuss/reminisce about old children's books. If you're looking for the title of a book that you half-remember, I have a list of Resources above that will help you. If you're looking for the old list, those links are still there, but I've added more in the expanded list.

You might also check out the Book Lists section which has lists of books on specific topics and themes along with some additional resources on those topics.

Every book on this site, whether it's in a series or not, is listed under the Books by Decade section.

I also have another book blog that used to contain some children's books but which I have now repurposed:

Jestress's Bookshelf

There isn't much content yet, but there will be more soon! I have quite a lot of unusual books on various subjects, and I have decided to use Jestress's Bookshelf for the more adult books. Updates will be made as I sort through my book collection.
