- The Alice in Wonderland books
- Frank L. Baum has many books, in addition to Wizard of Oz
- A Child's History of England by Charles Dickens
- Sherlock Holmes (I don't know if she's interested in that sort, but my daughter recently "discovered" those mysteries)
These are all in Public Domain. I'll keep checking this thread for ideas for my girl, too. Thanks for starting it!  |

P.S. this thread is awesome. So many great classics from Pullman to Carroll, Twain and Pipi Longstocking! I think the posters in this thread served up about 70% of my childhood.
