heh, somebody made me remember a few more favorites...

James Ramsey Ullman's "Banner in the Sky" (Disney movie "Third Man on the Mtn")
Mary O'Hara's "My Friend Flicka" and "Thunderhead"
Albert Payson Terhune's "Lad: A Dog" (which is here in Mobileread's library)
Jim Kjelgaard's "Big Red"
Enid Bagnold's "National Velvet"
C.S. Forester's "Captain Horatio Hornblower"
Mark Twain's "Prince and the Pauper"
Alexandre Dumas "The Three Musketeers" which I later reread unabridged and discovered it wasn't a "kids" book and it had sequels!
Jim Corbett's "Maneaters of India"
Arthur Conan Doyle's "The White Company"
Sir Walter Scott's "Quentin Durward" and "Ivanhoe" (probably first ones I read were abridged)
And Louis L'Amour... I know I read every one that was published through about 1972.

And even before those - Brer Rabbit's Tales by somebody and Richard Scarry's "Best Word Book Ever" An amusing comparison of the 60's and 90's versions
