My current read is this utterly charming tale of a young, sickly girl who discovers she‘s a duchess and heir to vast estates (after the untimely and oddly convenient death of several unknown family members).
Oh, and she gets a little white terrier called Blanche. Come on! What‘s NOT to like here? 😆

BiblioLitten @batsy 😂😂 This book reminded me of a book that I had read for children‘s classic challenge. Cannot remember the title at all though. About a boy who inherits and then warms up his gruff grandfather with his cuteness. 1w
batsy @BiblioLitten Ooh! Is it this one?

LeahBergen @Aimeesue @batsy I‘m going to have to hunt that film down now. 👏 1w
LeahBergen @BiblioLitten @batsy Ah, Little Lord Fauntleroy! This book made me think of another Frances Hodgson Burnett several times while I was reading it: A Little Princess. One of my all time faves. 😆 1w

Centique @batsy @LeahBergen @BiblioLitten just putting my hand up for the “A Little Princess” fan club. When I did chores as a kid I would pretend I was Sara and that my house was a boarding school and my mother was the mean headmistress 😂😂 5d

BiblioLitten @Centique 😂😂😂 4d

rubyslippersreads I have this book. I‘ll have to move it up the TBR list. 3d
rubyslippersreads @Aimeesue My dad loved this movie, but somehow I‘ve never seen it. I‘ll have to remedy that. 3d
