Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
On the grounds of Misselthwaite, her Uncle Archibald's estate near
the Yorkshire moors, nine-year-old Mary Lennox finds a walled-in
garden that has been locked securely for years. With the help of
Dickon Sowerby, a young local boy who can charm animals, Mary
cultivates the garden, an experiences that both improves her health
and raises her spirits. Ultimately, the secret garden proves
beneficial not only to Mary, but to her sickly cousin Colin.
Nurtured with love and tenderness, the secret garden proves it has
the power to heal the heart. First published in 1911, Frances
Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden is a much-loved classic of
children's literature. This illustrated edition, with full-colour
plates by Charles Robinson, features an elegant bonded-leather
binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, distinctive gilded edging, and
decorative endpapers. Decorative, durable, and collectible, it's a
book that will be cherished by readers of all ages.
Poor Sara Crewe. Once upon a time her beloved father pampered and
adored her. But ever since he died, leaving her alone and
penniless, she's been caught in the cruel clutches of Miss Minchin,
the headmistress at the Select Seminary for Young Ladies, where
Sara once studied. But no matter how terrible things get, Sara
always has her imagination and goodness of heart to carry her
through. This timeless tale of a poor orphan has won children's
hearts for a century--and continues to be a favorite.

At the age of sixteen Frances Hodgson Burnett moved to Tennessee
with her bankrupt family and began writing for American magazines
as means to support herself. Over two decades later Burnett
published "Little Lord Fauntleroy," modeling the character after
her son Vivian. Burnett's text and Reginald Birch's original
illustrations helped popularize a very romantic style of dress for
boys -- a velvet suit with a broad lace collar -- in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
