The Secret Garden

The Book the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett was one of my favorite books back in Elementary School. It was during a family Christmas party that I received this book from one of my aunts as a present. The book back then was in a pristine shape and it came along with a pretty key necklace. But nowadays the key is completely lost along with the front cover of my copy of the Secret Garden.

            The first time I read the book was nearly three years after obtaining it because the first time I was given the book. I didn’t actually like to read books very much. But it turned out that I became I really big fan of this book, But anyway I would like to recommend anyone who has yet read these book to give it a try. The main character of the book is not exactly a hero-type you would usually read in a children's book. Because Mary Lennox the main character has none of the usual protagonist. Because in the beginning she was a complete selfish brat and was described earlier as being unattractive and being sad and lonely. But through the book she and her friends Dickens a boy who could talk and charm animals and her cousin Colin who is as nice as herself and who is also stuck in a wheelchair. But together they find a secret garden and help bring it back to life.

These book was really sweet and a real mystery behind it that I really enjoyed reading. This was one of my favorite books when I was so much younger and I still enjoy excerpts of it time to time. The Secret Garden is a truly heartwarming book that anyone from nine to ninety would enjoy.
