Synopsis
After losing her parents and being shipped from India to the Yorkshire Moors, Mary Lennox is terribly lonely. Living in her uncle's gloomy mansion, she has nobody to play with. But one day, she learns of a secret garden somewhere in the grounds that her uncle won't allow anyone to enter. Then Mary uncovers an old key in a flowerbed - and a gust of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly, she turns the key and enters a world she could never have imagined...

5.0 out of 5 stars Burnett's best, 26 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I just adored this book as a child and I still can't read it often enough today. It is a moving, magical account of the mysteries of childhood and has a stonking plot to boot, like Charlotte Bronte for kids, only better. The characters, unlike those in A Little Princess (another favourite) are three-dimensional and complex, and the children behave like real children and not the Oliver Twist-style adults-in-miniature that appear in a lot of literature from this period. This is thought-provoking, intelligent and uplifting. Curl up and read it with your child in front of the fire on a chilly autumn afternoon with a cup of cocoa.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is great , 15 Mar 2008
The Secret Garden, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is a very popular well-known tale - now a great classic! I have had the pleasure of reading it and it was fantastic. It is about Mary whose parents both and she has to leave India to live with her uncle as an unwanted child. She is very lonely and miserable there until she finds the door to the secret garden which has been locked and hidden for ten years...
I really enjoyed this book and I would rate it 7/ 10; I would recommend it to anyone who likes reading - young and old, dim and intelligent, nasty and nice, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a sweet Story, 24 Jan 2008
By Morbida (Denmark) - See all my reviews

This book will bring nothing but a smile to the face of the reader. It is an incredibly well-written story that captivates one to the fullest. The characters are so well-described that you get a very clear and vivid picture of who they are and of course the surroundings. The author masterfully paints such a wonderful picture of the spring, the world waking up from its deep sleep, the blooming trees, the singing birds and the flowers. With spring the garden comes to life and with it, melts the ice from the hearts of the little Mistress and the little Rajah.
The story itself is an incredibly beautiful tale of a little girl, who has been cast aside by her own mother since the day of her birth, left to be raised by the help. Always lonely, unwanted, forgotten and incredibly spoiled the girl takes a long journey to learning how to appreciate the simple beauties in life, such as the sun, the flowers, the birds and the spring. She makes friends and learns to care for others.
An incredibly beautiful story which will warm your heart. Get this book and enjoy it !!!
