how could a group of BRITISH librarians come up with a list that excluded Shakespeare?

Good question. And I can't believe that Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy are listed. They are dark indeed. Pullman absolutely hates the church and Christianity and uses these books to poison children's minds about them.

Exactly. It’s the same story just updated so that the colors are reversed.

Yeah, get rid of that and put in C. S. Lewis' Narnia books instead. Much better reading for young minds.
