Step behind the ivy-covered door into the enchanting world of The Secret Garden with this exclusive edition of Frances Hodgson Burnett's perennial classic.
Newly orphaned, sickly, and alone in the world, Mary Lennox is shipped from India to her uncle's remote estate in Yorkshire, England-an ancient house full of secrets, where all is not quite as it seems and a forlorn howling keeps her awake at night.
As Mary slowly adjusts to her new home, her fortunes turn around as she spends time outdoors and makes friends with the household staff, a delightful boy named Dickon who has a way with animals, and a cheerful robin. But when she learns of a secret garden on the grounds, locked away and neglected for a decade, she becomes determined to find it and care for it-and discovers a hidden world with a magic all its own.
First published in 1911, The Secret Garden has held a revered place in children's literature for over a century. Featuring a new foreword by award-winning editor and Associate Director of Publishing at Western Colorado University, Allyson Longueira, this fine new edition will remind you that the "Magic" is real-and is always one unlocked door away.
