Ratings and reviews

Read when I was little and thought Id read again being stuck at home due to CV-19. Already beinging back some great childhood memories. 😊

Save your $ this book is free its a low price but still why would you buy something when you can get it for free

A great story. Although I would like to see a bit more after the ending. I would have liked to hear about the father and son relationship more.

About the author

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) grew up in England, but she began writing what was to become The Secret Garden in 1909, when she was creating a garden for a new home in Long Island, New York. Frances was a born storyteller. Even as a young child, her greatest pleasure was making up stories and acting them out, using her dolls as characters. She wrote over forty books in her lifetime.

Tasha Tudor's detailed, delicate artwork has been cherished by millions of readers. She illustrated nearly one hundred books, and received multiple awards and honors, including two Caldecott Honors.
