The Secret Garden


One of my favorite children's stories is The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. 

The story tells of Mary Lennox who discovers a secret garden and a secret cousin named Colin. They are both 10 years old and never knew about the other. Their mothers were twin sisters, and both had died.

Mary was a sour child, rebellious and alone. Colin was a sickly boy whose wanted his father's attention. Both needed "new life."

The 1993 film version is captivating. The cinematography is breathtaking and captures the magic of this delightful story.
