The orphaned Mary Lennox is sullen, ill tempered, and unloved when she's sent to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven. A man consumed by grief over the death of his wife, Archibald has allowed his sprawling estate on the moors to fall into grim disrepair. It's when Mary begins tending to her late aunt's mysterious garden - locked up and neglected for years - that she discovers its life-changing secrets and a flowering rejuvenation of the human spirit.

Out of this dark, closed-off world and a child's innate curiosity about life and death comes one of the most transformative coming-of-age novels ever written.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Secret Garden, this edition of The Secret Garden (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

A wonderful story reminding me that how you think & feel (about yourself, others & life as a whole) can have incredible impact on how you experience your life. The real “magic” is in fresh air, exercise & maintaining a positive mental state-awareness of the times you inadvertently use the “wrong magic” & substituting “happy thoughts” for the unpleasant ones. Most importantly never letting others tell you who you are or what your life will be like. I found this story sweet & inspirational, a wonderful reminder of things I sometimes forget.

I wish I would've known about this book when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it! It's a wonderful story with deep meaning about how our thoughts can cause us illness or wellness depending on the type of thoughts we choose to have. Had no idea this kind of knowledge was around over 100 years ago when this book was written. The characters are lovely and the descriptive writing makes it easy to visualize them as well as their surroundings. The reader has a nice voice and is very good at different accents and differentiating between characters. Love it!

Thoughts are very powerful!

I love this story. the narrator does a wonderful job with character voices and broad Yorkshire, but most of the book is read in a sing-song , as if it were not prose but poetry.
I found it extremely distracting and annoying. I plan to return this particular version in trade for another

not Amazon's finest production

The book is suitable for the young. The narration was done to perfection with the reading speed and portrayal of the characters.

An excellent book for the young and the young at heart.

I was a fan of the movie “The Secret Garden” as a child in the 90’s, but had never read the book. I decided to read the book this summer and I’m so glad I did! This is a timeless story that can just as easily be enjoyed in 2020 as it was in the late 1800’s. The writing style is accessible and very enjoyable. I especially loved the narrator. She kept a good pace without being too slow nor too fast, and her voice for the different characters was pleasant and soothing. I found myself finding excuses to stay out longer on my daily walks just so I could get another chapter in. I highly recommend!

A classic book with excellent narration
