Everything quickly spiraled out of control from there. Before I started this blog in January 2010 I covered ebooks, ebook readers, and digital publishing for about 2 years as a part of MobileRead Forums. It's a great community, and being a member is a joy. But I thought I could make something out of how I covered the news for MobileRead, so I started this blog."

I would add Max und Moritz by Wilhelm Busch (in Gutenberg. With English translation in Amazon).
And Struwwelpeter by Heinrich Hoffmann (also in Gutenberg and Amazon)about horrid (and no so horrid) children.

I’ve just caught up with this post and my definite No. 1 nomination would go to Timothy Gedge in “The Children of Dynmouth” by William Trevor. He is a very disturbing presence right through the book.
