Annotated editions of children’s ‘classics’ often contain much invaluable scholarship which is not accessible through normal critical booklists and check-lists. This check-list brings together over 100 examples; the detail of the annotation varies widely between (and sometimes within) series, but most of the books listed have an Introduction and Notes - and at the least a substantial Introduction. (I have not seen all of these books, and I would appreciate information on any that do not!)

As always with Children’s Literature there are boundary disputes. I have included the Vintage ‘Whole Story’ series, despite the fact that it is aimed at a young audience; similarly, I have excluded some books that appear in ‘children’s literature’ annotated series, such as Frankenstein, but have included others that might be regarded as adult texts, notably Kim and The Prisoner of Zenda.

As this is the first attempt at this list, any additions, subtractions or comments would be happily received.
