*grin* Funny how that works, en't it? I'd put up my dukes (I REALLY like the book) but eh, to each their own. Which did you experience first--book or movie? I read the book first and love it unconditionally. Still reread it every winter.

Oh, I read the book first. I read the Secret Garden, and loved it. Then I read a little princess and wanted to throw it out the window.

Incidentally I can't stand the Shirley temple version. But then again I have to be seriously sedated to sit through most Shirley Temple movies.

Well, then, I'll just have to go with the assumption that you're just weird. ;) But I'll have to agree on the Shirley Temple comment.

On the other hand, I quite liked both book and movie versions of The Secret Garden. Although I have a tendency to start reciting the Tiny Toons version of The Raven, complete with Vincent Price voice and lisp, whenever Archibald Craven shows up on the screen ...

the Warner Bros one, I assume. and yeah *giggle* I can see that.

I like both the movie and book versions of The Secret Garden.

While I haven't seen the Little Princess movie, I am not a fan of the book. I read the novella version, Sara Crewe, as a child, and I liked that well enough. As an adult, I read A Little Princess and was thoroughly unimpressed. There are a few beautiful images and nice turns of phrase...but Sara's just too much of a Mary Sue.
