_willowlane_ 's review for:
A Little Princess
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
emotional
When I was growing up, my parents would read this book to me nearly every night. I forced them to read from cover to cover and back again countless times. This book will always have a place on my shelf and it is a classic that, though it comes with marks of its time, will never fail to deliver the perfect read for a fireside in winter.
This book is a child level introduction to many darker themes and perpetuates a strong moral message to always be kind and compassionate. It, to many children, may also begin a critical relationship with the world, especially that which revolves around themes of money and the injustice of capitalism (though, to be fair, through the eyes of a little white girl).
There are so many magical, cozy moments in this book that I would imagine it may feel nostalgic even on the first read (though I can’t remember mine).
This is my favorite book.
