I have not read the book, or seen any other version of this movie, but this was indeed a delightful movie. I felt that the characters were rich, even though I would have liked to know more about what was going on w/the father earlier in the movie.
The building up of the characters w/their new surroundings was beautiful and timely.
The experiences of the children in their new surroundings, reminded me so much of my own childhood, when I w/my brothers and friends would go exploring.
I am going to try to locate the book so that I can read it. and find the earlier version of the movie (which I read about in someone else's comments.
