Title: The Secret Garden
Author: Frances Hodgeson Burnett
Thoughts: As soon as I finished reading A Little Princess, I happened to find The Secret Garden in a thrift shop and I snapped it right up. It was just as delicate and descriptive and lovely and inspiring. I love her characters! I want to read every book she has ever written... that's how much I enjoyed these two books, be they intended for children or not. I've often said I think books for children have to be more compelling than those meant for adults because children make for a cruel audience. If you don't keep them consistently and constantly entertained, down the book goes, never to be picked up again.
