The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
4.0
The Secret Garden is one of my favourite stories from my childhood. I think I must have seen about 5 different movies based on it.
The book is about a young girl, Mary, who comes to live in her uncle's mansion in Yorkshire. The house is full of secrets and there is a part of the garden that has been locked away 10 years ago and nobody has seen it since.
Mary, who was a very rude and sour child before she came to her uncle's house, with time finds herself exploring her new whereabouts and making new friends.
The book is written in a specific way, which makes it difficult to get drawn in at first. But once you get used to the language it's a very enchanting journey.
It's a beautiful story about friendship. It shows us how little children need to feel happy - watching the spring, taking care of flowers and spending time with their friends is enough to ensure that they are in good humour all day.
