Review
Mistress Mary is quite contrary until she helps her garden grow. Along the way, she manages to cure her sickly cousin Colin, who is every bit as truculent as she. These two are sullen little peas in a pod, cooped up in a gloomy old manor on the Yorkshire moors, until a locked-up garden captures their imaginations and puts the blush of a wild rose in their cheeks; "It was the sweetest, most mysterious-looking place any one could imagine. The high walls which shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of roses which were so thick, that they matted together.... 'No wonder it is still,' Mary whispered. 'I am the first person who has spoken here for ten years.'" As new life sprouts from the earth, Mary and Colin's sour natures begin to sweeten. For anyone who has ever felt afraid to live and love, The Secret Garden's portrayal of reawakening spirits will thrill and rejuvenate. Frances Hodgson Burnett creates characters so strong and distinct, young readers continue to identify with them even 85 years after they were conceived. (Ages 9 to 12)
Review
"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"

Afterword by Faith McNulty. Movie tie-in edition. 285 pages. paperback. CE2581. Cover art courtesy of Warner Brothers. keywords: Signet Classic Europe England Literature Children's Books Women. DESCRIPTION - When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle, everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen.' So begins the famous opening of one of the best-loved children's stories in the world. The tale of the lonely little girl, orphaned and sent to a Yorkshire mansion at the edge of a vast lonely moor, is a story that touches on the feelings of children everywhere. Mary's initial fear of this gloomy place is finally overcome by what she calls 'magic': the mystery of life itself - its birth and renewal, its love and joy. Focusing on Mary and her relationship with the sturdy local boy Dickon, who earns even the trust of the moor's wild animals with his honesty and love, and the invalid Colin, the spoiled, unhappy boy rejected by his father and terrified of life, THE SECRET GARDEN opens the door not only into a real hidden garden, but into the innermost places of the heart. It is a truly classic work that has left generations of readers with warm, lifelong memories of its very special charms. inventory #35677. Seller Inventory # z35677
