Publisher Description
Frances Hodgson Burnett’s charming childhood adventure story is read by Avengers actress Karen Gillan.
The Secret Garden is the story of Mary Lennox, a spoiled rich girl who is suddenly orphaned—and sent to live in her uncle’s remote Yorkshire estate. This arrangement does not sit well with Mary…until the day she stumbles upon a locked door that leads into an abandoned garden. Frances Hodgson Burnett’s most famous book is an adventure story about a little girl finding and creating her own happiness in a place that at first feels unfamiliar and even scary.
The talented Scottish actress Karen Gillan—who has appeared on-screen in the Avengers movies and on TV’s Doctor Who—narrates this Apple Books exclusive version of Burnett’s much-loved childhood classic, a magical world you won’t want to leave.
Customer Reviews
Perfect
I wanted an audio book for my mother with dementia, this was perfect. The descriptions of the garden, the robin and the wonderful narrator brought the story to life for her. I enjoyed it immensely too but to see her face light up while listening made this book absolutely perfect. I will remember her listening to this forever. Thank you .
The Secret Garden
My wife bought her first ipad on Tuesday, this week. While exploring iBook she discovered The Secret Garden audio book was free and decided to download it. This morning, on reading her Emails she found she has been charged £6.99. Beware. In order to write this review I have to award at one star. This is definitely a no star.
A long car trip with the story
I was in my car and going for a long drive and tried to find a good audio book and I stumbled upon this one I wasn’t expecting much but then I found out that is is exactly what I was looking for if you are in a long trip then read this book
