2.5 stars. It's not the writer or the story, it's me. I know this is a beloved classic, and I might have really enjoyed it if I had read it as a child, but now, her incessant ramblings and imagination sprees just annoyed me.

How times have changed.)

It is a lovely story and the writing is good, it just didn't c ...more
