Frances Hodgson Burnett keeps coming up in recommendations. Where would people start with their books?

Eoin, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

A Little Princess is one I am weighing up. A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.

Grainne, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

For anyone considering A Little Princess: The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.
