About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged audiobook edition of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

'I've stolen a garden,' she said very fast. 'It isn't mine. It isn't anybody's. Nobody wants it, nobody cares for it, nobody ever goes into it. Perhaps everything is dead in it already; I don't know.'

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.

This was dreamy and beautiful to listen to!

The writing is so poetic and whimsy! The narrator is perfection and I could listen to her voice all day. I got chills as the book concluded and felt the magic in ME!

Fantastic Reader!

This narrator nailed the Yorkshire accent, paused at just the right moments, and did a beautiful job of capturing the personalities of each character. My daughter needed to read the book for an assignment over Christmas break, and listening to it felt like a treat. I highly recommend this performance.

Lovely

Listened with my 5 year old daughter before letting her watch the 1993 movie. It was perfect. The accents were stylized enough to give the idea, but clear enough even she could understand the broad Yorkshire.

Mágico

Um bom livro. Fofo e aquece o coração. Em alguns momentos um pouco simplista, descrições muito longas da natureza. Mas pra um livro mais infantojuvenil é ótimo. Um classico

Most Marvelous

Brimming with hope and healing.
Forget the movie
Forget the remake of the movie.
This is a book that would be well read after dinner when all are ready for bed Or anytime. I like books when I listen to the Audio. It warmed my heart.

Magic!

I have been so exhausted by all of the depressing news on the tube and the net that I needed to read/hear something uplifting for a change. This audible is so well done. Probably one of the best narrations I have heard of any of the audibles I have enjoyed. I found myself practicing my own broad Yorkshire on my dog walks. Highly recommend.
