The classic story of how unhappy Mary Lennox is transformed by her friendship with Dickon, the garden boy and the wonders of nature that he reveals to her in the secret garden. Unabridged, this is nicely produced in a sturdy hardback edition. We also rate very highly the edition from Walker Books.

From Michael Morpurgo: "I love this story of a girl's life being changed by nature."
Despite her spoilt upbringing in a wealthy family in British India, Mary Lennox has never really had anyone pay any attention to her. So, when she finds herself all alone in a rambling old mansion surrounded by the vast wilderness of the Yorkshire Moors, ignored by her reclusive uncle and nominally cared for by servants, she doesn't feel much lonelier than she was before.
Read the full description
But then she stumbles upon a hidden, secret garden, makes friends with local lad Dickon and her sickly cousin Colin, and discovers the mystery and joy of growing things and connecting with nature. As well as a gripping story of misery, mystery and friendship, this is a heartwarming tale of forgotten children and adults who have let heartbreak stop them from loving the people around them; of death and misery blooming into new life.
Many of these works are on reading lists ranging from KS2 up to GCSE.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849. Her mother moved to Knoxville, Tenessee in 1865. Miss Hodgson began writing for magazines soon after. Her first widely-known story appeared in "Scribner's Magazine" in 1872.
Frances married Dr. L. M. Burnett of Washington D.C. in 1873. In 1898 she divorced Dr. Burnett and married Mr. Stephen Townsend in 1900.
Her reputation as a novelist was made with her story of Lancashire life, That Lass o' Lowrie's. A number of other works followed, with Through One Administration and A Lady of Quality as the most notable.
In 1886 she published the Little Lord Fauntleroy, which was dramatized during her life and (now safely out of copyright) continues as videos and movies. Her children's books, including the marvelous Secret Garden and Sara Crew (later rewritten to become: A Little Princess) are what she is best known for today, but her romance novels were very popular during her lifetime.
