Favourite Puffin Classics in beautiful hardback.

After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle's gloomy mansion on the wild English moors. She is lonely and has no one to play with, but one day she learns of a secret garden somewhere in the grounds that no one is allowed to enter. Then Mary uncovers an old key in a flowerbed - and a gust of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly she turns the key and enters a world she could never have imagined.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (24 November 1849 – 29 October 1924) was an American-English novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885–1886), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911).

    Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Cheetham, England. After her father died in 1852, the family fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 immigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. There Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. In 1870 her mother died, and in 1872 Frances married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor. The Burnetts lived for two years in Paris, where their two sons were born, before returning to the United States to live in Washington, D.C., Burnett then began to write novels, the first of which (That Lass o' Lowrie's), was published to good reviews. Little Lord Fauntleroy was published in 1886 and made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular. She wrote and helped to produce stage versions of Little Lord Fauntleroy and A Little Princess.

    Burnett enjoyed socializing and lived a lavish lifestyle. Beginning in the 1880s, she began to travel to England frequently and in the 1890s bought a home there where she wrote The Secret Garden. Her oldest son, Lionel, died of tuberculosis in 1890, which caused a relapse of the depression she had struggled with for much of her life. She divorced Swan Burnett in 1898, married Stephen Townsend in 1900, and divorced Townsend in 1902. A few years later she settled in Nassau County, Long Island, where she died in 1924 and is buried in Roslyn Cemetery.

    In 1936 a memorial sculpture by Bessie Potter Vonnoh was erected in her honour in Central Park's Conservatory Garden. The statue depicts her two famous Secret Garden characters, Mary and Dickon.

Buyers beware - poor quality!
I intended to buy this as a gift. First problem I found was that the design was slightly off-centre, leaning more to the left towards the binding page crease. While it may not seem a problem for others, I was buying this as a gift so I decided that this must've been a faulty batch and proceeded to process a replacement. Would highly commend amazon customer service as they processed my replacement extremely quickly.However, the replacement book was no different to the first. Moreover, I also realised when trying to peel off the price sticker at the back, that it began to actually peel off the book design which was another major disappointment.I also tried buying this from another online retailer and I encountered the same two issues. Due to such consistencies across the books, the manufacturer of this book design is really at fault. It's such a disappointment because the design is really lovely, but the execution and overall quality is a huge letdown.Please do not buy this, especially if intending it as a gift.

Absolutely beautiful book! The hard cover is solid and feels very good quality. The font and text is very pretty, the pictures absolutely beautiful. Many of the pictures have interactive elements and details (which come with additional sheets of paper to protect them during the journey). The kind of book you keep forever! Can’t wait to read it with my children.

A magical tale with a happy ending. The wonder of childhood, the healing of nature, the sadness of loss and the joy of rediscovery - it’s got the lot! Time well spent and to be recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Charming yet Dated Tales of Magic and Growing Up
Reviewed in Australia on 22 December 2018
Verified Purchase
The Secret Garden is a wholesome tale about change, growth, and self-cultivation. Tinged with a dash of magic, this book oozes with the timeless charm of English moorlands. Yet it retains antiquated views of colonialism and perhaps a slightly to romanticised view about the moors. Nevertheless, it's a charming classic suitable for readers of all ages.

Reviewed in Canada on 23 November 2023

The media could not be loaded.
 A little girl who feels alone and is sent somewhere, where she has to establish new connections. A mysterious setting, characters who must overcome obstacles and the power of friendship. I didn’t want to put any spoilers but there is a reason this is is an enduring delight for new (and repeat) readers.

I remember my grade school teacher reading this book to us, and I read it to my 5th grade students. It's a tale of children in a mansion who share a great secret. This edition is unabridged and beautifully illustrated with interactive elements throughout. It truly has the appearance of the period in which the story is set. I highly recommend it for parent-child sharing or for any child who loves a mystery and adventure.

La edición de Minalima es bellísima y todo sus pop ups están protegidos por un papelito adicional. La historia la conozco por la película pero en cuanto al estado del libro todo perfecto y por un buen precio.

I really liked this style of illustration and it helped to tell the classic story very well to a modern or younger audience.
The length of this version of the book is short enough without missing any of the important parts of the story.
