R. M. Ballantyne
The Children of the New Forest
(wagga, I guess it was just the difference in adding in a "The" to the title!)
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
(Captain) Frederick Marryat
Stalky and co
Rudyard Kipling
The Assassins of Rome
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
Caroline Lawrence
On the beach
Nevil Shute
Mulliner Nights
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
P.G. Wodehouse.
The moon of Gomrath
( Sorry, but I did mean Neville Shute's 1957 novel, On the beach, which was made into a movie in 1959 starring Ava Gardiner and remade in 2000. Alex Garland 1996 book about backpackers is called The beach.)
(Sorry, my mistake. Again, what a difference a preposition makes!)
Alan Garner
The Outsiders
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
S. E. Hinton
The Night Circus
(Amusingly enough, I have copies of both Lamplighter and The Lamplighter. )
We have hands that fashion and heads that know,
But our hearts we lost - how long ago! -- G. K. Chesterton

Agatha Christie
The cloister and the hearth
(@ Meltintalle: Which one of the three versions of Lamplighter/The Lamplighter don't you have? )
Charles Reade
The Heaven Tree
(I don't have the Anthony O'Neill one--but I thought of another work bearing the same title: a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson. )

But our hearts we lost - how long ago! -- G. K. Chesterton
Ellis Peters
King Solomon's Mines
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
H. Rider Haggard
Fortress
(@ Meltintalle, I didn't think you would have the Anthony O'Neill one, to be honest. I found myself wondering that when I do a subject search, if I see the same screen as you might in USA, given I'm not there. )
Gabrielle Lord
Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead
(@wagga, I can do some screenshots if you're really curious... )
