Book of the Week

For a walk down memory lane this summer, try the 100th anniversary edition of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This delightful children’s book, beautifully illustrated by Robert Ingpen, is sure to please readers of any age.

When a lonely orphan, Mary, is forced by circumstances beyond her control to move to her uncle’s home, her world is turned upside down. Curious cries heard throughout the house and the rumor of a garden within a garden, locked for 10 years, stir her imagination.

When Mary finds the garden, everything grows and thrives under her care. The reader watches Mary, along with her new friends and family, grow and thrive as well.

If you are re-reading this classic or picking it up for the first time, you will be treated to a lovely trip into The Secret Garden.
