I enjoyed the first half, but the second half became preachy, full of Christian undertones, and a lot of bs.

A classic children book that is not only fun, but also easy to read.

A very lovely story, about Mary who goes to live with her uncle after her parents die. I like the idea that fresh air and playing outdoors can cure mostly everything; not only physically, but also mentally. I especially liked Dickon with his animals. He brought some magic into the story.
