Existem livros bonitos e existe O Jardim Secreto, um livro tão lindo e delicado que dá vontade de entrar dentro das páginas e viver sua história.

A childhood favorite of mine, and it was lovely to read it again. It was like meeting an old friend again. 

This book is sweet, magical, and warm. Everything, and I mean everything is alive thanks to Burnett’s writing. The garden, the animals, the moors are all main characters too, and she writes them in such an energetic manner. You can’t help but feel that you are right there. You can feel the dirt, and you can smell the weather; it truly is a masterclass in writing. 

Dickon, Mary, and Colin are so realistic as kids, and their character development did make sense. Watching Mary and Colin grow not only physically but emotionally was heartwarming. 

Re-reading this as an adult made me believe in the “magic” again.
