A new series (still being written) — the Incorrigibles by Mary Rose Wood. It’s hilarious and I’m pretty sure the main character, a governess, is a CM educator.
I have to say Little Women–can’t help it. I’ve got four DD, and I have loved this book ever since I was young. I practice reading the chapter where Beth dies to try and keep it together though 🙂 I’m not very emotional either, but that does it to me every time!
I, too, had not heard of The Chestry Oak–hello Amazon cart! Thanks for that recommendation ladies.
I must second the recommendation of Understood Betsy. Loved reading that one to my girls!
Little Lord Fauntleroy was the first one that came to mind when I came across this thread. Though, after reading all the replies, I could have chosen any of the above!
