I used to have gorgeous copies of A Little Princess & The Secret Garden. They were illustrated and everything! I wonder if I still have them somewhere. . .
I agree about the scene of the redecoration of the room in A Little Princess. That book also had some racial diversity, too - wasn't the girl Sarah was rooming with a black servant? And of course the Indian gentleman who was more or less an embodiment of the 'exotic'.
Now I am going to try and find those books and read them again.
