A book I feel like I have read before but when I was very young and I barely remembered it. This was really charming, and I too want to grow a garden now. I wish we learned more about Mary’s parents and Colin’s mother, and I wish Mary and her uncle were closer too, but this was so sweet.

Such a beautiful book. Mildly racist at times yet almost progressive for the time, funny that

I loved the beginning of this and kind of lost interest after Colin was introduced. This needs more robins and less boys.
