Editha's Burglar

Picked up this little gem today, by the author of The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. I have loved Frances Hodgson Burnett for years, but it was the inscription to "Hazel- from Papa and Mamma" dated 1899 that really got me. #currentlyreading

LeahBergen It‘s a sweet little story. 💕 6y

I‘ve always had a thing for #OldCoolBooks and especially old, cool, children‘s books. ❤️❤️

This is a sweet little tale by the author of The Secret Garden and A Little Princess.

Chrissyreadit I love it so much!!!! I loved having old children‘s books. I mistakenly gave some beloved ones away when I tried to be a minimalist. It turns out I love books too much to ever fully follow minimalism. 7y

Editha's Burglar: A Story for Children | Frances Hodgson Burnett

Here‘s another from my aunt- a first edition (1888) story from Burnett before she wrote Secret Garden and A Little Princess. I hadn‘t heard of this one, has anyone read it?

Reviewsbylola So cool!! I‘ve never heard of this one. 7y

Lcsmcat I haven‘t heard of this one but I read The Making of a Marchioness by her. 7y

LeahBergen I have this one, too! It‘s lovely. 💕 7y
