Ooooh thats a good question. F Benson is one hahaha but I can help as I will wing people over to this post on Saturday and see if a few other bloggers will too and we can have an excessive list of wonderful books to look out for. Ooh, good pointer about the Bloomsbury Group series. What a wonderful bookish place to have visited! Great suggestion, I shall have to do a bit of looking into her adult books — thanks for popping by Sara!
I loved the Just William books when I was a kid. I recently read I capture the castle which was beautifully written. The sequel to sounds a bit mad and different! Try Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom, Work, the Chase and she also wrote lots of blood and thunder mysteries and gothic romances hwich are great fun. Head of the House of Combe and the sequel Robin also worth getting hold of. I could go on all night but will stop now! What brilliant pointers. I could definitely read more Frances Hodgson Burnett adult fiction — the Shuttle was superb.
My favorite is The Burden because of its insights into romantic relationships and teaching. I deem the best written novel in the series, however, to be Absent in the Spring, the first two thirds of which could hold its own alongside any modern novel.
The last third degenerates somewhat. Sounds like a good one for the list. RSS - Posts. RSS - Comments. Novel Insights. Skip to content. Help wanted for a list of forgotten books by well-loved authors. Posted on March 30, 16 Comments.
