It's truly a story of it's times and would hopefully be written in a different way had the author been alive today. I don't know if it's stood the test of time, because, reading it as a person of today, there are many thing that aren't great. Still, it's easy to see why The Secret Garden is such a classic and so close to so many hearts.
