The Secret Garden

(4.20 от 10 гласа)











A richly imaginative tale that cleverly inverts many of the popular cliches of childrens books, Frances Hodgson Burnetts The Secret Garden is edited with an introduction by Alison Lurie in Penguin Classics. After the death of her parents in India, sullen and self-absorbed Mary Lennox is sent to live on her uncles estate, Misselthwaite Manor, an enormous, drafty mansion looming on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. Exploring the grounds, Mary discovers a walled garden, neglected and in ruins; and in a distant room in the house she finds a cousin she never knew existed - Colin, an invalid, ignored by his father and expecting to die. Mary and Dickon, the housemaids spirited brother, befriend Colin, and set about restoring the garden, which opens up a world of magic, reconciling the children to the world of life. Originally published in 1911, Frances Hodgson Burnetts The Secret Garden is an extraordinary novel that has influenced writers such as T.S. Eliot and D.H. Lawrence, bringing to life the transformative powers of love, joy and nature, and of mystical faith and positive thinking. Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in Manchester, England. After her fathers death in 1865, her mother moved the family to rural Tennessee, where they struggled to earn a living. At seventeen, Burnett sold her first story to a magazine, and by the time she was twenty-two she had earned enough to return to England. Burnett wrote a number of popular novels for adults, but is mainly remembered for her childrens novels: Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911).
