children's backs

It seems that I've been caught in a stream of Victorian children's literature featuring kids that hurt their backs.

"The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1911)
Colin has a bad back.

"Jack and Jill" by Louisa May Alcott (1879)
Jill hurts her back in a sledding accident.

"What Katy Did" by Susan Coolidge (1872)
Katy hurts her back falling off a swing.

Fortunately all the children's backs get better.
