Frances Hodgson Burnett 
Theo – A Sprightly Love Story 

Theodora has, in many ways, a rich life. Many ways apart from the one that counts. She’s got beauty and innocence in abundance, but when it comes to financial means, she sadly falls short. Luckily, a wealthy aunt takes a shine to the poor girl and invites her to London, where she makes the acquaintance of some interesting characters, including Mr. Oglethorpe, a famed journalist. Just like everyone else, Mr. Oglethorpe can’t seem to take his eyes of the young Theo. There’s only one problem – he’s already engaged to someone else. ‚Theo – A Sprightly Love Story‘ is a melodramatic tale of young love and controversy. Those who loved the work of Jane Austen, including such titles as ‚Pride and Prejudice‘, which was adapted into film starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet, will undoubtedly also fall in love with Frances Hodgson Burnett’s young heroine, Theo. –
