THE SECRET GARDEN Frances Hodgson Burnett, illustrated by Inga Moore
When newly orphaned Mary Lennox arrives from India to live with her uncle, everyone at Misselthwaite Manor thinks her a most disagreeable child. Lonely and friendless, she wanders the corridors and grounds until one day she finds a garden - a secret garden, locked and hidden for ten long years. With the help of Dickon and her spoilt, invalid cousin, Colin, Mary brings the garden back to life; and as she does, the mystery behind it is revealed. The Secret Garden, with its much loved characters, including Martha, Ben Weatherstaff and the friendly robin, has entranced children since its publication in 1911. In this remarkable new edition, Inga Moore's beautifully observed illustrations capture the wonder of the garden coming alive again, bringing about the transformation of two unhappy children. This story will appeal to children and the young at heart aged 6 106, and even younger children will love it, too, if you read it together. 280pp, 210mm x 266mm, illus. in colour, hardback, 2007
