I have read and enjoyed Sanditon but I didn't realize that someone had finished it. I am intrigued! A recent favourite classic from a few years ago had got to be The Scarlet Pimpernel or The Count of Monte Cristo. Both stand out as jaw-dropping and incredible.
I've been reading a lot of fairy tales. The original versions or earliest versions are the most interesting. By 'original' I mean there were all sorts of variations of the fairy tales that weren't put into the books but the folklorists recorded. Those are often the most interesting. They weren't originally for children but simply tales invented by the anonymous oral tellers.
An interesting and unexpected list. Thank you. Were "classic mysteries" a video topic, the title above your head (Hound of the Baskevilles) would be difficult to top for me. Note regarding your presentation -- your dress & necklace look nice. :)
That is difficult. I have such a love for King Arthur stories that I'm very picky, and rarely find retellings that I enjoy. I love Mallory's Morte D'Arthur, and not much else. haha! I recently read Nancy Springer's "I Am Mordred", and it was quite good with a powerful writing style. I can't say I exactly enjoyed it, but it was very memorable and interesting.
No Name might have to be my next Wilkie Collins! I just adore him and his style. I also love Henry V. The history plays are probably my favorites. Great list!
I’ve read very few classics and none of the titles you mentioned. I am, however, planning to read Jane Eyre, Little Women, and Oliver Twist in the upcoming months.
wow No Name sounds so interesting! I don't come across a lot of female-centered revenge stories! "and they're all a bunch of money-grubbing perverts" LOL that cracked me up! Dr. Thorne is definitely going on my TBR! and so is Our Mutual Friend I feel like it's only within the last 10 years that I've really gotten into reading classics for fun but I'm going to go with The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, Ondine by Jean Giraudoux, and Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand (all originally written in French, I just noticed!)
These are certainly unusual and eclectic choices. I have not even heard of most of these. I have read only one Walter Scott novel oh, maybe it's time to try another.

I loved this video! One of my favorite parts of your channel is your extensive knowledge of classics.
Aw, thank you! I wouldn't say "extensive" but I do enjoy reading lots of classics. haha!

Yes, both are huge favorites of mine! I really want to reread Count of Monte Cristo sometime soon. It's been more than a decade since I've read it.
Books for MKs I think it needs a reread from me too but I have about 5 classics over 500 pages that I should read.

That version of Jane Austen sounds great! I have been very unimpressed with the current ITV adaptation so I'll have to read that!
I think you would like it! I could barely tell where Jane Austen left off and the other author began.

Loved this video! I would love to hear about any King Arthur/Camelot books you enjoy!

I love Mary Barton! It's such a good one. I haven't read No Name, but it sounds really good.
No Name is one of my favorites for sure! Happy Reading!

Excellent! Those are all good ones, and a great way to dive into more classics. Happy Reading!

I have Phantom of the Opera on my TBR! I'll have to read it soon. Cyrano is one of my fave plays too!

I just adore Scott. His stories are so complex and emotional! Happy Reading!
Love it
OMG I've read none of them you mentioned. Gonna grab some.
Yes! A whole bunch of these are free on Gutenburg.org or just a couple of dollars on Kindle. Happy Reading!
