Not sure what your specs are re quality of literature or subject matter
Yes, that's always the rub, because each person has their own idiosyncracies. So I'm open to a wide range of suggestions, hoping we'll find some ones that work.
DD does like a bit of blood-and-thunder, stories with bad guys and so on. But they can't be TOO creepy. She definitely doesn't like "sweet" books where ordinary girls have ordinary adventures growing up, along the lines of Anne of Green Gables. But then, she's got this Jane Austen obsession, so go figure.
What would you recommend as a first Tennyson to read?
And when you say the Lassie books, do you mean starting with the original Lassie Come-Home?
