I've now read "Little Lord Fauntleroy". Amusing at times, but also rather silly and lacking the metaphorical and psychological richness of "The Secret Garden". The little lord and his mother are both too good to be true.

I just finished "The Secret Garden", one of three novels included in this volume. My feelings on it are conflicted. On the one hand, it seems like an overly simplistic argument for the power of positive thinking that could be read as biased against disabled people. But on the other hand, it's a heartwarming depiction of people becoming happy and moving on past grief in a lovingly depicted natural setting. Complex!
