Now that does sound like a great gift - I can understand why that was a favourite!

Your daughter is very lucky to have such a great book read to her!

You might want to check out some of the free books here before purchasing any more classics. I know that HarryT, for example, has uploaded pretty much every Dickens book in a state that will be every bit as good, if not better, than any you could buy.
