Cheerful Victorian Era Books

I just looked up "cheerful books from the Victorian era" and I got nothing . Nothing that matched my search. Google gave all the wrong answers. They brought up Great Expectations and The Picture of Dorian Gray to name just two of their terribly backwards picks! I wish I could find some more to read myself, but I will give you what I have read:

What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge - cheerful, encouraging
What Katy Did at School by Susan Coolidge - cheerful, funny
An Oldfashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott - cheerful, funny, refreshing
The Little Women Trilogy by Louisa May Alcott - cheerful, funny, refreshing
Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome - cheerful, very funny
John Jerome by Jean Inglow - lighthearted, funny
A Fair Barbarian by Frances Hodgson Burnett - lighthearted, ironic
Four Girls at Chautauqua by Pansy - uplifting, inspiring, humorous
The Peterkin Papers by Lucretia Peabody Hale - cheerful, silly, very funny
When I was a Little Girl by Elizabeth Tabot - cheerful, humorous
Her Majesty the King by James Jeffery Roche - bubbly, silly, hilarious
The Angel of the Tenement by George Madden Martin - short and sweet
