Some stories are best read with the windows cracked open and a little fresh air drifting in. This is one of them.
This hardcover edition from Chiltern is a lovely thing to hold. The tactile cover layers, fine details, and rich colors make a favorite classic feel new again, and it looks striking on any shelf. It would make a thoughtful gift, or a treat for your own bookshelf.
The Secret Garden begins with Mary Lennox, a sickly, sour-tempered little girl who loves no one and is loved by no one. Raised by servants in India, she is left entirely alone when cholera sweeps through her household. Sent to live with her uncle at Misselthwaite Manor, a sprawling Yorkshire estate with more than one hundred shuttered rooms, she hears whispers of a garden that has been locked for ten years, its key buried in the earth.
Curiosity sets everything in motion. Mary’s long walks on the windswept moor, her friendship with a cheerful housemaid, a gruff old gardener, and a very particular robin all begin to change her. Then there are the strange, faraway cries echoing through the manor at night…
Why you’ll love it:
Come linger in the garden. We think you’ll be glad you found the key.
