emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted

Very heartwarming little story, reading it made me want to pick up a trowel and get out in the garden! I wouldn't say it's memorable but definitely feel-good. 

It’s a charming children’s story of how a little ‘magic’ can help anyone find joy, love, friendship and good health.

The magic the children find in nature, through the secret garden, is written and described so beautifully that it is a joy to read. All the characters play their part and each have their own little magical touch that adds a special warmth to the book.

While I’m pretty certain I read this as a child, I have to admit I didn’t really remember it that well. While predictable in a way that most children’s stories are, it is perfectly paced throughout.

Admittedly I did find it difficult to read at times with the strong Yorkshire dialect but it absolutely worked as a whole for the story. It was actually quite refreshing too!

A solid 4 stars for me and one that I will no doubt reread again and again with my girls.

pamietam, że czytając to (ok. 4 klasa) bardzo się męczyłem, chociaż z perspektywy czasu nie wydaje mi sie już taka zła.
