Publisher Description
Few children's classics can match the charm and originality of Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden, the unforgettable story of sullen, sulky Mary Lennox, "the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen." When a cholera epidemic leaves her as an orphan, Mary is sent to England to live with her reclusive uncle, Archibald Craven, at Misselthwaite Manor. Unloved and unloving, Mary wanders the desolate moors until one day she chances upon the door of a secret garden. What follows is one of the most beautiful tales of transformation in children's literature, as Mary her sickly and tyrannical cousin Colin and a peasant boy named Dickson secretly strive to make the garden bloom once more.
A unique blend of realism and magic, The Secret Garden remains a moving expression of every child's need to nurture and be nurtured—a story that has captured for all time the rare and enchanted world of childhood.
Customer Reviews
Favorite book I’ve ever read
I genuinely could never recommend a book more than this. I read it in paperback and I have never fell in love with a book until I read this one. I like to read, but I’m not usually a very avid reader, but this book touched me like none other ever has. I’ve read every single one of this authors books, all of which are incredible, but this took my standards to a different level. Whether you read it in paper back, audio book, or kindle it is a must for all ages.
Meh
It’s ok, gets repetitive.
