Should be back in stock very soon
Mary Lennox, a spoiled, ill-tempered, and unhealthy child, comes to live with her reclusive uncle in Misselthwaite Manor on England’s Yorkshire moors after the death of her parents. There she meets a hearty housekeeper and her spirited brother, a dour gardener, and her sickly cousin, Master Colin. After discovering a long-neglected garden, Mary is determined to restore it in secret, leading to a newfound sense of purpose and happiness for Mary and those around her.
The mystery element kept me turning the pages but it was the superb characterisation that made the story stay with me. It taught me that it's never too late to remake yourself into someone better * Telegraph *
Even the most cynical reader would be hard pressed to remain unmoved by The Secret Garden. There is an old-fashioned tenderness and joy to it; the sense that magic happens if you are observant and quiet and know it will.
One of the most original and brilliant children's books
A blend of power, beauty, vivid interest and honest goodness. Yes, if this is magic, it is good magic * New York Times *
The Secret Garden should be on every child's bookshelf * The Times *
