A great novel!
Frances Burnett with her novel has written a great evocation of nature and childhood. This children's book takes place on the Yorkshire moor. It is a beautiful description of its landscapes and nature. A classic of english litterature for kids, full of mystery and friendship. This novel is very easy to read, and at the same time rich and poetic, with a very intriguing atmosphere. I recommend it as well very strongly for adult readers!
