A reread from my childhood - because I read this story A LOT. And watched the movie A LOT. 

This is a case for me where I prefer the movie to the book: the story is a bit dated but the movie makes it a bit more palatable to younger readers. This was tricky to read at times even for me - Frances Hodgson Burnett I BEG OF YOU learn how to use a comma - but still a wonderful, ultimately feed-good story.
