Awesome list. They’ve even got The Girl Who Owned a City, which made me want a shower after I’d finished it.

I just bought Starboortz Fish. Love the libertarian view point for my children. (Rainbow Fish sets such a terrible example for our kids) Maybe we an get Ms. Hughes will take on some others on your list!

Ha, I’d completely forgotten about The Little Match Girl. Your version would have been a good one to include.

This made my day. Several big laughs. And ending with THIDWICK was a stroke of genius.

How about this: “The Little Match Girl” — A tiny orphan sells matches in the cold, and no one buys, and . . . then she switches to contraband lighters from Asia, lighters that actually work, and soon she’s the most prosperous orphan on the block, organizing other kids to sell good products made illegal by the state. When a policeman comes to arrest her, she sets his hair on fire. With the lighter.
