I think that I had that edition of A Little Princess too. The picture was one of those scratchy pen and ink ones that needed a lot of work to decipher what it was actually supposed to be. I'm not that keen on pink book covers, or any bright colours really. I like books to be restful in appearance rather than brights and cheerful. I suppose the problem with children's books as it labels the book immediately as being for girls and not all girls, just the ones who would identify themselves with the colour. My daughter would refuse to read a book because it had a pink cover.

On a non-pink book - I've nearly finished End of Term (not pink) and am enjoying it very much. Thank you.
