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...more

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...more

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.

All delightful and moving. A Little Princess will always be my favorite that Burnett has written. I read this last year with my girls and by the time we were finished it had captured the whole family. We all were brought to tears and one point..(including Kameron). :) Sarah Crewe became a hero in our home and someone to discuss emulating.
Okay so I have the book, But I really only read Little Princess so ya. I probably will read the whole thing just not now.
So much fun to read with my girls. I remember making my own secret garden in our backyard.
We read all three of these stories as a family. We loved all of them!
the little princess is my least favorite. loved the little lord fauntleroy

Frances Eliza Hodgson was the daughter of ironmonger Edwin Hodgson, who died three years after her birth, and his wife Eliza Boond. She was educated at The Select Seminary for Young Ladies and Gentleman until the age of fifteen, at which point the family ironmongery, then being run by her mother, failed, and the family emigrated to Knoxville, Tennessee. Here Hodgson began to write, in order to sup...more
