I read these books as a very young child maybe 10 or 11. They had been my mums. I loved all of them and still have them

I guess this type of classics isn't for me. The start was alright, but it dragged from the middle to the end.

Portrayal of both womanhood and disability can be nauseating.

Had to read this for class on children's lit. Pretty sweet, if somewhat unremarkable, although I imagine back in the day it was probably quite well regarded. Just feels a little bit bland and a bit too preachy with its Christian themes for my liking. Also has quite an ableist theme/ conclusion. Fairly boring but sweet and straightforward!
