The Secret Garden

I read the original so long ago, but do not recall it. I remember The Little Princess much better it may have been given to me as a set, and my ‘The Secret Garden' copy came with a gold key necklace. The author has a note at the end explaining the choice to alter the story by removing any mention of India.


This does seem like just a pretty orphan story: girl becomes orphan, don't worry she's pretty, she makes friends, she has a somewhat absent male figure, there's animals so girls will like it, and in solving other peoples' problems hers are solved.


The art was ok.
