egramich 's review for:

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
5.0

Absolutely my favourite children's book. The story is so heartwarming and simple, but yet there are so many things beneath the surface. The description of nature and the garden giving life to the two children really moved me. Even the preachy ending is forgivable, entrenched in a heavily moralistic Victorian world - it's like a window into a forgotten world, a forgotten view of things.

Anyway, I just really like it.
