"Mary is a tough feisty character, who manages to turn a whole
household, and the lives of those in it, completely upside
down...the book is brim full of magic and joy."- Sunday Telegraph
"It is only the exceptional author who can write a book about
children with sufficient skill, charm, simplicity, and significance
to make it acceptable to both young and old, Mrs. Burnett is one of
the few thus gifted." -The New York Times In what is the most
enduring work of Frances Hodgson Burnett's literary legacy, The
Secret Garden is an insightful and pastoral tale of transformation
and love. Mary Lennox, a spoiled and temperamental young girl
living in colonial India is orphaned when her parents and their
servants succumb to cholera. She is placed in the care of her uncle
in England, who lives in a sprawling manor surrounded by the
Yorkshire moors. Mary's sour demeanor is no match for a
kind-hearted maidservant, who reveals that there is secret garden
on the grounds of the manor. While on the search for the garden
Mary becomes enthralled with the natural world, and gradually her
temperament softens. When she becomes friends with a robin, the
bird leads her to a doorway to the secret garden, where her life
will be changed. The Secret Garden is a beautiful story of
rejuvenation and friendship that is a timeless classic of
children's literature. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Secret
Garden is both modern and readable.
