" This was a very nice book to read; I loved the healing and hope in this story. It is very victorian, with themes of the virtues of nature and positive thinking. It is definitely different than most classics, as there is not a lot of conflict; maybe that's because it's meant for children. I can't wait to read this one with my children when they're old enough.
