The Secret Garden (AmazonClassics Edition)

By: Frances Hodgson Burnett

Narrated by: Susan Duerden

The orphaned Mary Lennox is sullen, ill tempered, and unloved when she's sent to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven. A man consumed by grief over the death of his wife, Archibald has allowed his sprawling estate on the moors to fall into grim disrepair. It's when Mary begins tending to her late aunt's mysterious garden - locked up and neglected for years - that she discovers its life-changing secrets and a flowering rejuvenation of the human spirit.

Out of this dark, closed-off world and a child's innate curiosity about life and death comes one of the most transformative coming-of-age novels ever written.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Secret Garden, this edition of The Secret Garden (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Great Characters

An easy read with good pacing. The characters were unique and engaging. Reader was outstanding.

Magic is in your head

A wonderful story reminding me that how you think & feel (about yourself, others & life as a whole) can have incredible impact on how you experience your life. The real “magic” is in fresh air, exercise & maintaining a positive mental state-awareness of the times you inadvertently use the “wrong magic” & substituting “happy thoughts” for the unpleasant ones. Most importantly never letting others tell you who you are or what your life will be like. I found this story sweet & inspirational, a wonderful reminder of things I sometimes forget.

Thoughts are very powerful!

I wish I would've known about this book when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it! It's a wonderful story with deep meaning about how our thoughts can cause us illness or wellness depending on the type of thoughts we choose to have. Had no idea this kind of knowledge was around over 100 years ago when this book was written. The characters are lovely and the descriptive writing makes it easy to visualize them as well as their surroundings. The reader has a nice voice and is very good at different accents and differentiating between characters. Love it!
