- Kilmeny of the Orchard by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Brilliant, manly young Eric Marshall falls desperately in love with a beautiful, mute violinist. This retains much of the charm that I recall from Anne of Green Gables but I find it hard to overlook the way it reeks of manly, sexist, racist entitlement. I'm also unable to not giggle at lines like "...and he loved that man's son with a love surpassing that of brothers..."
- A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I've been meaning to read this for what seems like forever and I'm so glad I did. John Carter is unspeakably heroic and nicely tragic in his role as manly defender of Martian Princesses and befriender of Martian dogs. Dates surprisingly well.
- Frederica by Georgette Heyer. Rereading for love of Dr Ratcliffe’s Restorative Pork Jelly.
Just finished re-reading Anne of Greengables, Anne of Avonlea and Anne of The Island.
So sweet.
Have just realised that Frances Hodgson Burnett who wrote Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden has also written other books. Yay!
