The "romance novel" of the times! Theo was written and published in 1877. It is a great read for perspective of the courting habits of your grandparents, or great-great-great-great-great grandparents!
Frances Hodgson Burnett is one of the most charming among American writers. There is a crisp and breezy freshness about her delightful novelettes that is rarely found in contemporaneous fiction.
Theo is no exception to that.
If you are a fan of her works such as “A Little Princess”, “Sara Crewe”, “The Shuttle”, etc., you will definitely love this piece.
Frances Hodgson Burnett brings another masterpiece indeed.
