เกี่ยวกับ eBook เล่มนี้

Since its publication in 1911, The Secret Garden, a touchstone of children’s literature, has been adapted for plays and movies over a dozen times. Charming generations of readers, the story centers around the healing power of friendship, and the magic in the everyday. Burnett begins with a spoiled and unsympathetic heroine named Mary Lennox. When Mary is orphaned, she is shipped from her home in colonial India to a drab country house in Yorkshire. As she learns to tend the garden on the estate, Mary forms her first true friendships; when they bring a secret garden back to life, Mary and her friends are also transformed.

เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง

An immensely prolific author, Frances Hodgson Burnett was born in Manchester in 1849. Burnett’s family immigrated to the United States when she was a teenager, and from the age of 18, she helped support her family with her writing. She published more than two dozen books, and many were adapted into plays. Her memories of her childhood in England were her inspiration for some of the most vivid titles in children’s literature, including Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden.
