The Chronicles of Prydain Author: Lloyd Alexander Number of books: 5 Why I love them: These wonderful books are based on Welsh mythology, which means that the characters have awesome names (once you figure out how to pronounce them).

Redwall Author: Brian Jacques Number of books: 21 with another on the way Why I love it: Redwall is about the adventures of small (and smallish) forest animals.

The Oz Books Author: L. Frank Baum Number of books: 14 Why I love it: Just as a note, there are an astonishing number of Oz books written by other authors after L. Frank Baum’s original 14 books. I haven’t read them, and hence, they shall not be officially counted in the “number of books” [...]

Betsy-Tacy Author: Maud Hart Lovelace Number of books: 10 Why I love it: There are so many amazing things about this series, but here are the highlights: 1. The books grow with the kids.
