[A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett]

I don't think it's pathetic.

A lot of people want to experience the magic in their favorite series but I'm pretty much a coward and always get put off by the potential for danger and pain. This is the kind of magic I can get behind. Even though it wasn't really magic. But if it was.

Are you me? I think it's a very powerful scene and I suspect it's not just the two of us who think it so.

I know what you mean. It's a vivid and appealing moment. I've felt the same way

I never read the book but I watched a BBC version a lot when I was a kid and I absolutely loved it. (I think it might be partially responsible for my woobie-kink since everything goes wrong for her but it turns out right in the end.)

I don't think it's pathetic at all. Indeed, I think desiring for everything to be magically fixed or better is a very understandable and common desire. It's a little like waking up Christmas morning to see the presents magically appearing but with the added awesomeness that it could happen at any time.

A Little Princess!


When I was a kid, when we first moved to the Philippines, my bedroom was the attic in the house we were renting. I loved it. Because this was the start of the severe bullying at school and the start of me coping through fantasy. And my first big fantasy was imagining I was Sara, so sleeping in an attic helped. I'd always imagine the bad stuff first, and then the happy ending with the magic and then the new family.

I love this book! And that's not pathetic at all, OP. If it is, then I'm really pathetic because I still pretend I'm a princess when I'm having a difficult day. When I'm dealing with extremely rude parents and administrators, sometimes the only way I can keep my cool is to tell myself I'm a princess and a princess should behave properly no matter what.

[(Anonymous)]

OP, I very much wanted to have the same thing happen. It's very much one of my absolute favorite scenes in any book I've ever read, and that is saying a great deal.

[(Anonymous)]

OMG, yes! I've wished the same thing. I love this secret. <3

I still have the Dell Yearling paperback from 1981. :)

There's nothing at all pathetic about wanting to be cared for and cossetted, and to have something dull, or poor, or worn be magically transformed into something bright and cozy and wonderful.

I love that book so much.

I'm not familiar with the scene, but from the other side, making a big fancy meal for somebody as a surprise like that would be fun.

I don't think it's pathetic. That was one of my favorite parts of the book.
