Can't remember anything else, really. I remember reading some classics, but in retrospect, they were too thin to have been the actual works, so they must have been kiddie versions.

Along with some abridged and non abridged classics this was me.

>> No.5771949

Iliad
Odyssey
Beowulf

My parents treated them like children's books and read them to me when I was very, very young. I still remember how much I loved that. Kids do really well with gory stories. Later I read them myself and also gravitated toward Arthurian stuff. I loved Lloyd Alexander especially. He wrote a great children's series based loosely on The Mabinogion.
