Yes. I know these are Children's books. Yes. I know I am nearly 62 years old! And YES! I thoroughly enjoyed these books! I had never read any of them before but had seen the movies of the Little Princess and The Secret Garden. Actually when I was reading the Little Princess, I could almost hear Shirley Temple saying some of the lines! The ending of the Little Princess was not at all like the ending to the movie. No surprise there! Both books were, of course, better than the movies. I have heard
Wonderful old classics that are still as great and as charming as the first time I read them as a child!I have always loved The Secret Garden and The Little Princess since I read them so many years ago. I had never gotten around to reading Little Lord Flountleroy, but I am glad I finally had the opportunity! It is a wonderful book no matter if you are a child of a senior citizen!
This book was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The purpose for him to write this is for little kids to waant to seek adventure, and have fun outdoors. The lesson i learned by reading this book is to go outside, have fun and meet new friends. The styles of the book are monologue and dialogue. The author put in a lot of descriptions and a lot of talking to one another. There is also a lot of narration in this book where the narrator tells you exactly what is happening. Then the dialogue comes
I loved The Little Princess and The Secret Garden when I was a young girl. I never read Little Lord Fauntleroy until I was an adult, but I enjoyed that book as well. I liked reading about Sarah Crewe's remarkably mature attitude as she went from riches to rags and back again. She never mistreated others when she was rich, but she also didn't have as much of an opportunity to show true compassion for others until her riches were taken away. Then you see her true grit and watch as her character de...
A Little Princess: A classic read for children, pre teens and anyone else. A little rich girl to rags tale. She is overly clever and wise for such a young girl and abused and neglected for it. For goodness sake if you decide to watch the many movies out there, ignore the Shirley Temple version, it was changed too much.I do not remember The Secret Garden enough to write on details. However, the garden sounds like a wonderful invention. I recall loving the book.little Lord Faunlteroy was a bit mor...
I have just finished "A Little Princess". This was the best paced of the three novels, and emotionally quite rich. The trials of the main character and the depiction of poverty and mistreatment are gripping and very sympathetic. The fact that British colonialism hovers over everything like an unpleasant London fog -- and is not questioned by the author the way class distinctions in England are -- complicates things.
I can't figure out how the nerdy, book-obsessed child that I was managed to miss these three books. Despite being probably 40 years past the target audience age, this was my experience reading them as a nerdy, book-obsessed adult:The Secret Garden: “OMG, that was the best book EVER!!!”A Little Princess: “Wait, maybe THIS was the best book ever!!! And the ending was so different from the Shirley Temple movie!! But both were great!!”Little Lord Fauntleroy: “Holy Cow, I can't decide if may this was...
I read Little Lord Fauntleory, and it was perfect! It captures the beauty of childhood and the innocence of children. I loved the wording, the character, and how it inspired me to become a better mother. My sister just finished reading Secret Garden to her 5-year-old today. They read for 3 hours straight! They loved it, and I look forward to reading all of these books aloud to my children.
I've never read Little Lord Fauntleroy,but I love the other two stories.
My ratingsI really liked how this book had a lot of detail especially the little Lord faunteroy it really inspired me I loved the way it has good Pictures to go along with the story I loved all of these stories very much I hope I can read them again sometime
A must-read for children of all agesI enjoy this better than The Secret Garden. It is a simple, entertaining story that shares positive values. This is the tenth or so time I have read it - it never gets old!
