The language style of older classics are really not for me, I could only get through it as an audio book. However, I am glad that there is some storyline to follow and great character development in the spoilt children. One TBR off the list, of books I never completed as a child.

I haven't read this in decades and it was interesting to read it as an adult. It's a love song to fresh air and gardens and wise, caring mums.
