This list is for YA books published in the 20th century that take place in England.
Authors do not have to be British, but the book should have been written and set in England during the 20th century. Hoping to focus mostly on contemporary young adult novels, so please avoid books for younger children. Upper middle grade is fine, but try to shoot for protagonists ages 12 and up. To keep the list neat, if this book is part of a series, please add only the first book.
