Mary Lennox, a spoiled, ill-tempered, and unhealthy child, comes to live with her reclusive uncle in Misselthwaite Manor after the death of her parents. There, she meets a hearty housekeeper and her spirited brother, a dour gardener, a cheerful robin, and her willful, hysterical, and sickly cousin, Master Colin.

With the help of the robin, Mary finds the door to a secret garden, neglected and hidden for years. When she decides to restore the garden in secret, the story becomes a charming journey into the places of the heart, where faith restores health, flowers refresh the spirit, and the magic of the garden, coming to life anew, brings health to Colin - and to Mary, happiness.

Critic reviews

"It will rapt most children away, for after fifty years, its spell is still as strong; a blend of power, beauty, vivid interest and honest goodness. Yes, if this is magic, it is good magic." ( New York Times Book Review)

Having never read this as a child it's been on my TBR for a while. Johanna Ward's narration is excellent. She really brings Mary in particular to life. Highly recommended.

Fantastic read. Well narrated.

Would you listen to The Secret Garden again? Why?

Yes, it was as great a listen as I remembered it being a great read many years ago. I remember reading the book as a child and not being able to put it down until I had finished it. I wondered if it would still be the same for me now. It was!!!!!!!!!! how great. It took me straight back to my childhood, and it was wonderful. I had to keep listening to the very end.

As great as I remembered!!

A wonderful story, narrated beautifully. The character came alive with the skills of the narrator and I could almost smell the flowers of the secret garden. Highly recommend.

Simply Brilliant

I read this many years ago and loved it then but I have to say I had huge holes of memory! Read so beautifully I was swept away and yes, although I was painting as I listened towards the end, I had teardrops clinging to my lashes several times. Seriously worth having. Highly recommend this to you whatever your age or sex.
