Just asking out of nostalgia. I remember reading it over and over again when i was around 12 and it always left me with this feeling of calmness. In the same time i discovered "emily of new moon" from the same auther, it was less popular but with the same thing with the girl, whose parents died and she was dreamy and everything. I think it was more or a less a trend with other book of the sort. I suppose the magic came from this good and sincere people being able to get over their problems, from celebration of creative individuality and from this made up hypnotising old "real" routine, which is a must if life around lacks certainty and stability.
