An adjunct to Kathleen's list of memoirs:
For a fun, autobiographical look into an author's childhood, adolescence & unorthodox/wacky family: Oddballs by William Sleator (sci-fi YA novelist), 1993.
Also, Jean Fritz' Homesick, the story of her childhood in China (1982 Amer. Book Award winner and Newbery Honor Book), should be on the "earliest" list. Roald Dahl had two autobiographies: Boy, and another, I can't recall the title, about his creepy English boarding school years.
