A wonderfully lovely, and engaging little book. The descriptions are to die for, and the immense happiness of it filled me up. I wanted to run out into the spring myself. It is so colourful and vivid I didn't feel like I was reading at all, I felt as if I was in the garden, quite a child, seeing, he...
The Secret Garden ist eigentlich ein Kinderbuch, aber ich finde, man kann es in jedem Alter lesen. Mary ist ein verwöhntes Mädchen, das in Indien aufwächst, ihre Eltern sind zu beschäftigt, um Zeit mit ihr zu verbringen, und so wird ihr von den Dienern alles zu Füssen gelegt, bis eine Cholera-Epidem...
There is nothing I could say that could convey how much this book (and film) belongs to my childhood. Dickon (of The History Boys fame no less!) is mesmerising, whereas May is everything little girls are but should not be. Also one of the few films to be true to the book in almost all aspects (how y...
I really enjoyed reading this book, I've always watched the movie so this was a real treat to actually take the time to read. It made me remember the wonders of being a child and exploring the little corner of the world we are presented with.

I loved Mary Lennox because she was so contrary, I loved the idea of a secret garden, and children having secrets from ...
I finally read this book, after having always wanting too.As a child, I remember going to see the 1993 film and I have always loved that. Perhaps that is what kept me from reading it so much, having loved the film so much I suppose I saw no need to read the book.I am glad I have read it now, more th...
Well, I'm a classic lover. I love books that have stood the test of time. The Secret Garden has been a Classic for more than 100 years. I saw the 1993 film version of The Secret Garden years ago. I loved it. I loved the story, the characters and mostly, how a garden changes life for one very special...
I guess I didn't miss much by not reading this book as a child. I don't really understand why it became a classic. It starts out interestingly enough with a very gothic setting. A little British girl named Mary survives a cholera epidemic in India and is sent to Yorkshire to live with her distant re...
