Trivia

This was Patricia Neal's final screen role; she plays Grandmother with the gravitas of someone who survived Hollywood's Golden Age.

Cultural

The 1993 miniseries arrived during a brief 90s obsession with 'prestige children's literature adaptations'—think Secret Garden, A Little Princess—before Harry Potter changed everything.
