The Sergeant Majorette says
Hear, hear.
I read "The Little Princess" when I was six or so; not only was it
British, but Victorian. I loved it because it was totally another
world. Besides, a kid who can read science fiction and deal with
words in languages that don't exist can certainly read British
English. We may be Philistines, but we're (mostly) not stupid.
