Had to google that one. Seems a bit harsh on the poor boy who drowned, but Wikipedia quotes one Selma G. Lanes, who wrote about the book: "I cannot remember a tale during my childhood that gave me a cozier sense of all being right with the world." So it seems the drowned boy was just a minor issue (at least to girls)
