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.

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!

This was dreamy and beautiful to listen to!

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.

Fantastic Reader!

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.

Lovely

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.

Most Marvelous

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.

Magic!

Except for the book’s references to the “blacks” of India—which can serve as a perfect start to a conversation about how people’s understanding and beliefs evolve with their experiences—this book is a treasure and appropriate for any modern child, no matter what age or gender or color or creed. A great story, beautifully written (and narrated here), with many rich possibilities for discussion about the varieties, joys, and sadnesses, of human experience.

Old-fashioned but not outdated—and wonderful!
