Little Women is a book that raised me. I read it over again now every 10 years or so.
The two Miss Read series written by Dora Saint. Miss Read is her pen name. FAIRACRE is one series. THRUSH GREEN is the other. About 30 books total. These are more character sketches with simple plot lines. Cover small town Cotswold life from 1900s to 80s.
One can see the mindset in place that has led to GBs current destruction. Although Miss Read is against it.
“Little Women is a book that raised me. I read it over again now every 10 years or so.”
Me, too! My favorite book ever. Just bought one for my three great nieces.
I think that every time I re-read it maybe Beth won’t die, and Jo will love Laurie. (I’ll never forgive her for not loving Laurie; I loved Laurie.)
