Just off the top of my head, books I have enjoyed over the years that fit here: The Hired Girl and Splendors and Glooms by Laura Amy Schlitz, The 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith (so charming! Dodie!), Princess Academy series by Shannon Hale, The Folk Keeper and Chime by Franny Billingsley, maybe some Karen Cushmans or Eva Ibbotson's fantasy-comedies for kids!
