Frances Hodgson Burnett
I have made a list of the classics I have not yet read and didn’t realize just how long that list was. This is the classic born-a-commoner finds-himself-aristocrat story. It is what so many other books and movies are based on. Yet, I had not read it. Now I can say confidently that I have. I can’t believe I hadn’t before. What a wonderful tale! This fairytale is just what every child should be reading. I read the 1955 (originally 1886) edition with introduction by Alice Dalgliesh. The pictures are the originals and I would highly recommend this format. Read this for yourself and read it to your children. Absolutely wonderful.
