This is two books on one and this reading is the first time I have read The Secret Garden. I loved it. I have always enjoyed A Little Princess but I have glossed over the second half as it seemed a bit dull. However, it was actually a sweet story though I wasn't a fan of the "Magic is God" preaching towards the end.
