Yeah, no, she offered me plenty of modern children's books, and often used me as a tester for new books she wanted to know if she should recommend, but she definitely also made a point to expose me to the significant books of her childhood, so LWW seems rather an oversight.
I kind of think that the books hadn't really resonated with her because of their Christianity, and she had some subconscious sense that the series wasn't really for us, even if she didn't necessarily have some strong intellectual belief that she should keep Christian message books away from me (and in fact generally believed in exposing me to every sort of idea and giving me access to any kind of book).
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
