内容简介
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a magical novel for adults and children alike. This new hardback is one of five special Puffin Classics editions created in partnership with the world-famous V&A Museum, with exquisite cover designs from their William Morris collection.
"I"ve stolen a garden," she said very fast. "It isn"t mine. It isn"t anybody"s. Nobody wants it, nobody cares for it, nobody ever goes into it. Perhaps everything is dead in it already; I don"t know."
After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle"s gloomy mansion on the wild English moors. She is lonely and has no one to play with, but one day she learns of a secret garden somewhere in the grounds that no one is allowed to enter. Then Mary uncovers an old key in a flowerbed - and a gust of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly she turns the key and enters a world she could never have imagined.

Mistress Mary is quite contrary until she helps her garden grow. Along the way, she manages to cure her sickly cousin Colin, who is every bit as truculent as she. These two are sullen little peas in a pod, cooped up in a gloomy old manor on the Yorkshire moors, until a locked-up garden captures their imaginations and puts the blush of a wild rose in their cheeks; "It was the sweetest, most mysterious-looking place any one could imagine. The high walls which shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of roses which were so thick, that they matted together.... "No wonder it is still," Mary whispered. "I am the first person who has spoken here for ten years."" As new life sprouts from the earth, Mary and Colin"s sour natures begin to sweeten. For anyone who has ever felt afraid to live and love,The Secret Garden"s portrayal of reawakening spirits will thrill and rejuvenate. Frances Hodgson Burnett creates characters so strong and distinct, young readers continue to identify with them even 85 years after they were conceived. (Ages 9 to 12)
"[Neglected Colin] lives the life of a spoilt and incurable invalid until the arrival of an orphaned cousin. The two children secretly combine to restore his mother"s locked garden and Colin to health and his father"s affection."-- "Four to Fourteen.""A most attractive edition in every respect."
