A Little Princess

By Frances Hodgson Burnett
Now, I don't know if it was the beauty of the new Kindle or that this was a good book, but I loved it. I thought this old classic was a great read! I was about 85% through with it, (I knew this because the Kindle told me so) I recalled a Shirley Temple movie that sounded familiar. So, of course, I called my poor sister, Jeannie. (PS she is forced to endure these random phone calls from me about 80's TV show soundtracks and weird facts. I'm pretty sure it makes her think I am crazy.) Anyhow, it was a Shirley Temple movie! But the book was so cute. Classic rags to riches or vice versa. Cute. I would recommend this book to anyone. (Lyza might like this one Jeannie.)
About a little well off girl that loses it all and the choice she makes to be happy regardless and how things turn out for her in the end. It really made me feel lucky really, to have the material things I have. It made me want to be better about not complaining so much. I know, I have a long way to go.
PS Jeannie, what was that scary show with the witch and the weird yellow/orange dude and they rode on crazy vehicles?
(See what she has to put up with?)

  1. I'm thinking H.R.Puffinstuff if I'm thinking the right witch. Was there a singing flute involved?
