The Secret Garden

Based on the beloved classic children’s novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this edition of The Secret Garden is a beautifully illustrated hardcover picture book adaptation that all children will treasure.

Once upon a time…a walled garden bloomed under the summer skies in the north of England. But it was locked up and left all alone. And it stayed all alone, for many years. Until…

When young Mary Lennox moves into Misselthwaite Manor, she hates it. She hates the cold hallways and ugly moor. And she hates how lonely she is. The only comfort Mary has is exploring the manor’s grounds.

After uncovering a hidden key, Mary discovers an old, abandoned garden that has a few secrets. With two unexpected friends, Mary gets to work bringing the garden back to life. In Mary’s determination to see the garden bloom, she undergoes a powerful transformation of her own.

I love this book from the beginning to the end. I should have read it when I was younger but I am glad that I have read it now. The language was challenging at first but after a while you get use to it. I would love to have a secret garden of my own that has Magic.

This was one i always told myself I would read and just never did. It's been so long since I saw the movies I forgot a lot of the things in this one. It was an adorable little story. It started out about loss and with a spoiled child. It ended on a happy note with that same girl finding family, friends and her love of the secret garden.
