The Secret Garden (Word Cloud Classics) Paperback – April 30, 2013 by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Description

A classic piece of children’s literature first published as a novel in 1911, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden is a story of transformation and renewal. Unwanted by her parents, Mary Lennox, a spoiled, selfish young girl is raised in India by servants. When cholera breaks out killing her parents and most of the servants, Mary is sent to live with a mostly absent uncle in England. It seems as though no one cares for Mary, and that Mary will never care for anyone–until she steps into the secret garden, and her life begins to change. Now available from Canterbury Classics, this hopeful and beautiful novel is the perfect gift for every child–and every adult who remembers that first moment when he or she began to finally grow up.Lexile score: 970LAbout the Word Cloud Classics series:
