I imprinted on _A Little Princess_ so hard, when Christmas shopping with my mom shortly thereafter, I saw a doll and exclaimed, "Hello, Ermengarde!" My mom [in the next aisle] thought I had met a kid from school with a mom who loved her not. ;)
I also imprinted on _Secret Garden_, which led directly [via Yorkshire dialect] to the All Critter books. _Secret Garden_ is always fun, but best of all with the Tasha Tudor illustrations. [The Margaret O'Brien movie's pretty good, too.]
_Little Lord Fauntleroy_ is very good, actually quite subversive of the tropes later associated with it [kind of like how Louisa May Alcott, contrary to her goodie-goodie reputation, is actually a very radical feminist]. _The Lost Prince_ is also very well done of its kind, but be sure to get the unabridged version, so you don't miss out.
