Or anything else

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

The Little Princess/The Secret Garden
Or anything else...

Or anything else by FHB. I found both these books to be very interesting and well-written. Has anyone else read them? (counteraction of the Warriors craze.)

back to the Blab about Books

I like these books a lot; except when I was six or so I tried to read A Little Princess and couldn't get through it because it was too sad. Recently I reread it though and liked it a lot. I really like 'The Secret Garden.' What else did she write? Those are the only two I can think of.

 

Sorry, Mary, this sends it to the bottom and I won't be able to pull it back up until it's been in there for a while. I've noticed that it doesn't work to try and bring it to the top if you try to post it to the top immediately following the real post.

Okay, NOW I can say it: To the top! :)

I'm not sure what else she's written... but I know there's something. I'll check the library website later.

I LOVE those books! I'm currently reading The Secret Garden for the 2nd time, and I've read The Little Princess at least 4 or 5 times. They are books that you can read again and again without getting bored. I would recommend them to anyone!

:) :) *keeps on smiling* I've been reading these books since I was 4, and my mom dug out her copies. . . when I was little, I pretended to be Sarah all the time.

So you lived in an attic in rags and tatters? *joking*

I'm similar to Lena in the fact that I tried reading Little Princess as a little kid, and it was too depressing at the time. I absolutely love the Secret Garden, though.  The whimsical language and story is so....*happy shivers*

I cried at the end of A Little Princess, when it turns out that the diamond mines came back, and Sarah really is a "princess," but still doesn't forget Becky and Ermengarde. A Secret Garden is first-rate too.

The Secret Garden is really good. It's one of the ones I read occasionally. Good book, that.
