A review by deb_weiss
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

5.0

After this reread, I’ve increased my rating to 5 stars. Its just magical! A beautiful story about coming alive. The importance of letting yourself open up to the beauties of the world, to light and to other people.

I adore Dickon and Martha and Susan. They are all fully “wick”. I loved the description of the garden. And I love Mistress Mary quite contrary. She learned to see herself, the good and the bad, in a beautiful way.

I loved all the animals and the lessons taught from nature. I laughed at the kids trying to learn the Yorkshire accent. I want to learn it! What a great read aloud skill that would be!

Mostly, I love the magic. It’s real. And it’s powerful. What is it, you ask? You mun fin’it you’self.
