A review by itsmattiebeck
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

5.0

This is a very heartwarming story filled with hope, growth, friendship, and of course, magic! This story really highlights the beauty and healing power of nature and the importance of connection with nature and people. This is a magical story about childhood and the grief that can overcome people and how it can steal health from your body. But it also explores the wonder of a child and the hope that comes from finding the magic in the world, and maybe that’s all we need to heal what ails our aching souls. I didn’t understand the underlying messages from this story as a child, but as an adult, I truly appreciate the beauty in this book.
