Publisher Description
Mary Lennox is sent to Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire England after her parents die from Cholera. Also living in the manor house is her sickly cousin Colin, who is every bit as spoiled as she. Mary and Colin are like two peas in a pod, closed up in a gloomy old manor on the Yorkshire moors, until a secret garden captures their imaginations. As spring brings new life to the Earth, Mary and Colin's sour natures begin to change. Playing and working every day in the secret garden improves their nature and health, as the "magic" of the garden transforms them into normal, healthy children.

Amazing
At first I was a little disappointed at the sound quality. I've listened to other audio books that didn't sound so rough around the edges. BUT.... after 1 or 2 chapters I was so involved in the story that I didn't notice anything. The narrarator does a very good job at the 'voices' of the characters... especially Mistress Mary ("I won't! I won't!").
My only annoyance was the way in which she pronounced the word 'them'. Being from West Texas, 'them is pronounced...." 'em ", not "THem" with such drawn out enthusiasm. Oh well!
A GREAT story and a GREAT reading, I highly recommend it!
Timeless story
I had read this book when I was a little girl and had forgotten just how wonderful this story is. It made me want to get out in my garden :). The narration is not the best, but she does a good job of doing different voices for the characters so it is clear which one is speaking. This book is well worth the money. If you love Jane Austen you will love this book as well.
love it!
the perfect book. :)
