    Those Who Only Read "The Secret Garden" Have Made a Huge Mistake...

    BookWorm

    This book... wow. Beautiful. I cried at the melancholy parts, thinking how cruel everyone was to little Sara. But wait, I reminded myself, this is only a story. But a wonderful one, indeed. At times I had to remind myself that, like a dream, this book was not true, no matter how rich the descriptions were, and how they made me feel. This book is a miracle to literature. If you have only read "The Secret Garden", you've made a gigantic mistake.

    Childhood Favourite

    I recently read this book again to remember how much I loved it as a child. A truly phenomenal story of a girl who in the face of adversity never forgets that she is a princess on the inside. A pinnacle choice for the classic happy ending.

About the Author

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born and grew up in Manchester, but after her father''s death she emigrated with her mother to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1865. Five years later her mother died and - like many other women of her time - she began writing short stories for popular magazines to support her family. Her first novel, That Lass o'' Lowrie''s (1877), brought her instant fame on both sides of the Atlantic.

She married in 1873, and in 1886 her popular children''s serial Little Lord Fauntleroy was published to instant success. Mrs. Burnett wrote many other novels, for both children and adults, as well as plays and short stories, but she is best remembered for the classic children''s novels The Secret Garden (1911) and A Little Princess (1905).

She became an American citizen in 1905, though she travelled frequently to Europe. She died at her home on Long Island a few weeks before her seventy-fifth birthday.
