Whoever put that list together really loves Roal Dahl.

I've read about half of it, but there were definitely some (mostly set in England and Wales) I'd never heard of.

What's up with all the Kipling? I can understand Just So stories, because they are about animals and if you squint really hard, you can take out the racial overtones, but with books like Kim (and the Alain Quartermain book just about it) it's impossible to separate the attitudes from the narrative.
