Understood Betsy is great! I loved it when I was a kid, and reread it relatively recently since it's on Project Gutenberg. I was expecting way more "city bad, country good" and "this is not how disease works" (the premise is basically: sick little girl is sent to live with relatives who have a farm, assigned farm chores, perks up with Actual Work To Do) but actually it's very sweet, far more realistic than I was expecting about the logistics of her home life, and has loads of details about turn-of-the-century farm life and being a kid in (presumably) rural New England that I think you'll really enjoy.
