There are some unfamiliar ones amongst these - I'm interested that there is quite a British influence here?
Madeline Polland! Her Deirdre is one of the most beautiful, romantic love stories ever written, but I was absolutely shattered by the ending (of course, it doesn't end well, but I was unfamiliar with the legend the first time I read it...). She also wrote at least one adult novel that I loved, another romance, but I can't remember the title.
I liked Hester Burton a lot, too. My own favourite was Time of Trial
By the way, my mum used to read the Milly Molly Mandy books to me when I was very young, and I STILL HAVE MY COPY!! I'm very fortunate to have had a mum who loved books as much as I do and didn't part with ANY of mine...
