A review by plagiarizzim
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

5.0

“Where you tend a rose, my lad, 

A thistle cannot grow.”

I’ve been feeling a little lost and sad recently, and picking up a childhood favourite was so healing for me. I used to listen to The Secret Garden on a CD, narrated by Thora Hird, at night as a child, and I can still hear it so vividly. I can still see the same images I imagined as a child. A true testament to how much I love this story (and how often I listened to it). I took my time with this book and really savoured it. A lovely experience with a lovely book.
