Memorable books from my school days

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I don't do much reading beyond required reading.  But here are some memorable books that were part of my school curriculum (secondary school and high school) in India.
  • The Arabian Nights (multiple short stories)
  • Jungle Pictures by Norah Burke
    • Journey by night
  • Tales from Far and Near (multiple short stories)
    • A pair of mustachios by Mulk Raj Anand
    • The angry street--A bad dream by G. K Chesterton
    • The imp and the crust by Leo Tolstoy
  • Panorama (a collection of poems)
    • The highwayman by Alfred Noyes
    • The pied piper of Hamelin by Robert Browning
  • The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond
  • The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare
I wish I could get copies of all these.
