Summary
The orphaned Mary Lennox is sullen, ill tempered, and unloved when she's sent to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven. A man consumed by grief over the death of his wife, Archibald has allowed his sprawling estate on the moors to fall into grim disrepair. It's when Mary begins tending to her late aunt's mysterious garden - locked up and neglected for years - that she discovers its life-changing secrets and a flowering rejuvenation of the human spirit.
Out of this dark, closed-off world and a child's innate curiosity about life and death comes one of the most transformative coming-of-age novels ever written.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Secret Garden, this edition of The Secret Garden (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Fantastic little story
This is a fantastic heartwarming story that is as suitable for adults as it is for children.
Lots of lessons for all of us to learn and reflect on.
You can tell it is an old book as it is not politically correct in parts,But neither am I so that does not bother me at all.
Highly recommended.

A brilliant classic listen
OM Gosh, I devoured this. Simply a beautiful story; a treasure and towards the top of my adored classics reads now.
Gardening is good for the soul; I’m a firm believer of that....so it would seem was Francis Hodgson Burnett.
Not just for children.
This Amazon audible version was great.

frustrating
I've seen a TV adaptation of this story and enjoyed it so I thought the book would be as good. The story could have been told in 14 chapters instead if 27. It droned on and on and I struggled to finish it. The narration was ok but being Yorkshire botn snd bred, 27 chapters of inaccurate Yorkshire dialect drove me to dospair.
