Several scenes from Anne of Green Gables come to mind -- the one where Anne and Diana swear to be friends, and the one where Jane (I think? Or was it Ruby?) dares Anne to walk along the roof.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Because books.

I think the equivalent of early high school. They're in England. As am I currently (in spirit anyway--on a conference call with Brits).

Too bad Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller aren't fiction. The spelling of the "w-a-t-e-r" scene would be perfect.

One day I will read Anne of Green Gables and A Little Princess. I love the Tom Sawyer idea. From what I know of his mum, she may too.

You've never read A Little Princess?! ::faints::
What about The Secret Garden?

Oh, I read that post. And then forgot I did. Sorry!
I think I remember one of the books you have pictured there, Christina Katerina and The Box. If not, I remember something a lot like it.
