The Secret Garden The Secret Garden

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.

It’s a good but old read

So funny to hear the Scottish narrator attempting to speak in a Yorkshire accent 😂 good classic but it hasn’t aged well… black people referred to as ‘blacks’ or ‘darks’

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.

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 .
