Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The story of how Mary Lennox, with the help of good friends, brings a secret garden back to life, has been loved by generations of readers ever since it was first published in 1912. Now, this classic book is available in two beautiful new collectors' editions. With wonderful black-and-white illustrations by Tasha Tudor, and lovely details like a satin ribbon marker and glorious full-color plates in the hardcover edition, these deluxe editions of The Secret Graden are must-haves for anyone who wants to rediscover the magic of this classic story.

Synopsis:

When orphaned Mary Lennox, lonely and sad, comes to live at her uncle's great house on the Yorkshire moors, she finds it full of secrets. At night, she hears the sound of crying down one of the long corridors. Outside, she meets Dickon, a magical boy who can charm and talk to animals. Then, one day, with the help of a friendly robin, Mary discovers the most mysterious wonder of all--a secret garden, walled and locked, which has been completely forgotten for years and years. Is everything in the graden dead, or can Mary bring it back to life?

Synopsis:

"(Colin) lives the life of a spoilt and incurable invalid until the arrival of an orphaned cousin. The two children secretly combine to restore his mother's locked garden and Colin to health and his father's affection".--Four to Fourteen.
