lydiaslibrary 's review for:
The Secret Garden
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
I vividly remember watching ‘The Secret Garden’ movie as a child and loving it. I decided to read this enchanting story to my children. I did find this more challenging than I expected. This wasn’t only due to the fact that I didn’t inherit my mums Yorkshire accent from her childhood growing up there.
I also found the sentences didn’t flow very easily and I often found myself struggling to read the very long sentences aloud. My daughter started to lose interest a bit by the end (maybe due to that lack of Yorkshire accent) but she also kept asking me to repeat certain parts or ask what was happening.
This made for a slightly less enjoyable reading experience.
