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? 😆

Aimeesue "Oddly convenient deaths"? How very Kind Hearts & Coronets! (edited) 13mo
Leftcoastzen Just 😂 I think I‘m a long lost princess but only if the right people die!👑 13mo
Tamra I‘ve lived the wrong life! 😵 13mo
batsy Looks adorable! I'm still waiting for the "heir to vast estates after the convenient deaths of unknown relatives" narrative arc to get going in my life ? 13mo
LeahBergen @AmyG @ReadingRachael It‘s such a cute cover! 13mo
LeahBergen @BiblioLitten @jlhammar It‘s a delight. 😊 13mo
LeahBergen @elkeOriginal Who doesn‘t? 🤣 13mo
LeahBergen @Centique I thought Blanche was such a good dog name. 😆 13mo
LeahBergen @Aimeesue I had to look up that film … I‘ve never seen it! 13mo

LeahBergen @Tamra I am, too. Clearly! 😆 13mo
LeahBergen @batsy Oh, man … the people I wouldn‘t bump off for THAT outcome. 😆 13mo
Aimeesue @LeahBergen Oh, it‘s fabulous! Alec Guiness is BRILLIANT. Ealing Studios ❤️ 13mo
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. 13mo
batsy @BiblioLitten Ooh! Is it this one?![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Little Lord Fauntleroybatsy @LeahBergen Echoing @Aimeesue Kind Hearts and Coronets is so good! 13mo
BiblioLitten @batsy Yessss!!! It was bugging me that I couldn‘t remember. Thank you!! (edited) 13mo
batsy @BiblioLitten No problem! I scrolled down the posts and it appears most of us enjoyed it for the children's classic read 🙂 13mo
LeahBergen @Aimeesue @batsy I‘m going to have to hunt that film down now. 👏 13mo
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. 😆 13mo
Aimeesue @LeahBergen I‘m sure @batsy will agree, it‘s dark, delicious fun! Hope you enjoy it! (edited) 13mo
batsy @LeahBergen @BiblioLitten I have so much love for A Little Princess! I remember being completely obsessed with it as a child. 13mo
batsy @Aimeesue @LeahBergen Yes! That sums it up perfectly 😁 13mo
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 😂😂 13mo
merelybookish That cover!! 😍 13mo
BiblioLitten @Centique 😂😂😂 13mo
rubyslippersreads @Centique @BiblioLitten @batsy @leahbergen Add me to the Little Princess fan club. (I also ❤️ the Shirley Temple version, even though it diverges wildly from the book.) 13mo
rubyslippersreads I have this book. I‘ll have to move it up the TBR list. 13mo
rubyslippersreads @Aimeesue My dad loved this movie, but somehow I‘ve never seen it. I‘ll have to remedy that. 13mo
LeahBergen @Centique Your mother was mean Miss Minchin! 🤣🤣 13mo
LeahBergen @merelybookish Isn‘t it a wonderful cover? 13mo
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads I think you‘ll love it! 13mo
