I mean I'd prefer they not be children's classics, just because I've already read most of them. And things like The Picture of Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, Stoner (by John Williams), even Pride and Prejudice that I've read aren't really heartwarming.

It's obvious why for most of them, but for lots of romances, the societal roles of women and men often get in the way of their scenes/interactions feeling all that wholesome. So I guess a better path of wholesome would be non-romtantic relationship? Unless there is an author who wrote a romantic relationship you especially thought was wholesome and heartwarming

Hi, does anyone know any classics that are wholesome or heartwarming reads? I don't particularly mind the genre. Thanks!
