Elizabeth of the Garret Theatre

I love this book. Why it isn't more well-known I don't understand. Though written in the forties the four Verney sisters are vividly described, and very charming. One of my comfort-reads, it always brings a smile to my lips.

One of my favourites as a child. Bought it recently, winced a little at the moralistic tone. Hopelessly out of date but I can see why I loved it!
