I would add Understood Betsy to your list. She is also an orphan and the aunt who has been caring for her has to send her off to other relatives. It definitely qualifies as heartwarming. It was published in 1917.

Hi Mitzi great suggestions. Racking my brain for something to add....A Girl of the Limberlost for young independant lady and nature, for more on Anne- Before Anne by Budge Wilson and for found family- Pictures of Hollis Woods. I cant remember if you have mentioned reading any of those in your other videos?

Only A Girl of the Limberlost and I thought of that one, but I was limited to 5 lol. Thanks! I'll check out the others.

Those are great comps. I am interested in A Fair Barbarian. I was just thinking that A Secret Garden would also be a good suggestion. A great one, that shows a girl on the brink of womanhood is Daddy-Long-Legs. It's done through letters and is divine.

I need to read more by Frances Hodgson Burnett - I've only read her most famous ones (Secret Garden, Little Princess, Little Lord Fauntleroy). But I know she wrote quite a few more. The Fair Barbarian sounds interesting!

In the '80 I grew up watching the anime Heidi, it was fantastic!!! And in my teens I read the book. I would recommend the french book Nobody's Girl by Hector Malot, it says that it was translated to English with the title The Story of Perrine

I love all the Anne books, that is one of the nice things about the Anne Shirley books is that she wrote so many more , so you get to watch Anne grow up.

There are a lot of elements of Anne in Understood Betsy without it being too close. It's more like a young Valancy Stirling and Anne Shirley smushed together.

I have never read Heidi, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, or A Fair Barbarian. I need to change that since I love Anne of Green Gables. I really enjoyed Pollyanna and Jane of Lantern Hill. I recently read Bright Island by Mabel Robinson, and Thankful Curtis reminded me of Anne. It was a wonderful read, and it’s a Newbery winner. Terrific recommendations, Mitzi! 😊

This is so fun! I’ve never heard of a Fair Barbarian, but I love that author so I will try that one! This made me think of another book called Up A Road Slowly, also a great one in this genre. Honestly you could just read all of Montgomery’s books, I did! The Emily of New Moon series is also in this similar vein and I loved that series more than Jane of Lantern Hill personally. But Jane is great too.

I also would add Understood Betsy to the list. Very good. "Odd", I bought a beautiful copy of Heidi last month! I read Jane Of Lantern Hill when I bought it for my daughters many, many years ago. I bought them EVERY Montgomery book (children's) that I could find. They are adults now. Would love to get The Fair Barbarian. Thanks so much Mitzi!

Those are some beautiful book covers! I’m going to add these wonderful stories to my tbr for the L. M Montgomery reading month. I thought of two more contemporary stories that are kind of similar… How about Pippi Longstocking by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren and the Eloise series written and drawn by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight. They both feature a young girl living in situations without their own parents and they have quite the imagination and adventures. It’s interesting… all these stories are about young girls who are in situations where they basically have to stand up for themselves and learn how to enjoy life at the same time. They also seem like the more modern versions of the serious stories like what Jane Austen wrote and some of the Victorian authors too.

I think I’m the only person in the world who absolutely hated Anne of Green Gables. I found her character was so annoying and insufferable, I stopped reading halfway thru the book. But I do love all of your other book suggestions on your videos, I’ve found some great reads from watching your channel so thank you! 😀
