Definitely not a favorite, too saccharine and just not up to my expectations. Just found out, though that ITV (which was behind the most recent adaptations of Persuasion and Northanger Abbey) has commissioned a TV movie of it. Sounds like they're going to change the plot somewhat. Wonder if it'll be more likeable than the book. Now, what I'd really love to see is an adaptation of Burnett's totally wonderful book The Shuttle.
