• Lewis Carrol was pretty amazing. I didn't get into the Narnia books till I was older, but once I did they became instant favorites. I probably consider the Narnia books the best written childrens books of all time (with Dawn Treader being my personal fav.) Thanks for the responce!

  • Report
  

  by Shir on April 28th, 2008

• Well, I'm from Japan, so the stories were Japanese stories. The one that I remember the most is called "Mugiwara Boushi" translated: "Straw Hat". It was about a Japanese woman who had a child with an American man and because she didn't want to be disowned by her family, she denied the child and the child lived with the father in America. The only thing the child had to remember his mother by was his straw hat that she gave to him. As the child grew into an adult, he went looking for his mother in Japan and I believe the child dies...but I can't quite remember how. Maybe the mother kills him? It's a sad story. I've been looking for the book for years.

  I was so young...maybe 7 years old? But I loved the story but more importantly, I loved the time that mom spent with me.
