Frances Hodgson Burnett's a Little Princess

I have not read this book yet, but I will comment on the Classic Starts series as a whole. I am on my seventh Classic Starts book as a bedtime read aloud to my eight year old and I purchased this one to try with my five year old daughter. This abridged series has captured my son's attention beyond my wildest dreams. It is so exciting to read Swiss Family Robinson, Robin Hood, or Robinson Crusoe and have him beg for "one more chapter, pleeeease!" The series does a great job of simplifying the stories just enough for easier comprehension, without over-simplifying and "dumbing down". Thanks to Classic Starts my son has a passion for the classics and has now asked for the unabridged versions to see if he has missed anything!
