What a difference between children's stories in Victorian time and today. The characters are just so perfect in this one, their plight so tragic, their home life so inspiring, they are so full of pluck and good old-fashioned virtue that you'd think I'd want to hurl. But I finished it anyway. Totally dated, but somehow appealing in spite of, or maybe because of that. I definitely would not want a steady diet of this, but it was a pleasant read.
