What a lovely story. The prose was beautiful, in that extremely relaxing/wholesome way that makes you sigh with contentment, especially the nature descriptions. I ADORED the nature descriptions . Also, this specific edition of the book made the reading experience 1000 times more magical and special, it was a joy to read while enjoying all the lovely illustrations and the heavy paper. Such a great read for the beggining of Autumun, it was just what I needed

The Secret Garden was a childhood favourite of mine and I reread it to refresh my memories about it and see if it still touches my feelings. It is still beautiful and I even found some things I haven't realized as a child, for example the magic and God parallel.
The audiobook is really good as well.
