Best LEC Children's Books

Would like recommendations for LEC books that are "good" children's (ages 10-14 or so) books :)
Thanks in advance.

>1 astropi: Well naturally the five Evergreen Tales sets of three books each comes to mind. The Wind in the Willows. Treasure Island. A bunch of the Mark Twain books.

Try these:-

I do not have them all, and I think there are at least two more sets.

Paul Bunyan, Hans Christian Andersen and The Jungle Book all come to mind, too.

I've covered three sets of the Evergreen Tales on my blog if you wanna check them out in more detail: https://georgemacyimagery.wordpress.com/2020/06/28/limited-editions-club-the-eve...

Not an LEC book (and I hope I won't be chastised) but I gave my 11 year old granddaughter the Folio Society The Siege and Fall of Troy by Robert Graves. Not presently available from Folio but found a new copy of e-Bay. I'm informed -at the 3000 mile distance that she loved it.

The Graves book is indeed a delight. When I was a kid, I learned my Homer from the movies "Helen of Troy" and the Kirk Douglas "Ulysses" and though they were very entertaining, Graves' retelling is a far more faithful version of the events in the Iliad and Odyssey, and just as entertaining.

>6 laotzu225:-7 is that an appropriate book for someone around 12 or possibly a little younger?

I would like to add 'The Panchatantra'. They have been beautifully translated by Arthur Ryder and LEC did a fantastic job with the design and illustations. I have fond memories of reading those animal stories during childhood.

I found an image of the book on the below website.
