The Secret Garden
by Frances Hodgson Burnett from 1911
About
Burnett's The Secret Garden (1911) is the great Edwardian healing story: a sour, neglected child named Mary Lennox is sent to a Yorkshire moor house and discovers a locked garden that gradually restores her own inner life and the life of the sickly boy Colin. The novel's philosophy — that attention to living things heals the person who attends — is rendered through naturalistic description of garden growth and through the transformation of three children. As group reading, Mary, Colin, and Dickon give three primary voices; the garden itself is almost a character.
