Sobre este artículo
BURNETT, Frances Hodgson. The Secret Garden. NY: Frederick A. Stokes [1911]. 12mo, [x] 375pp. Blue cloth decoratively stamped in blind and gilt. Spine ends and corners slightly rubbed, rear board a tad soiled, else a remarkably clean, bright copy.
First edition. Burnett's beloved novel about an orphaned girl who discovers a walled-in garden on her uncle's property. The basis for numerous adaptations on film and television, this novel has enchanted readers for over a century! Amazingly, when first published, this title was received as just "a new book" by the author of A Little Princess and only achieved it's classic status when the children who read it grew up to share it with their children.

Sinopsis
The Secret Garden, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, has remained one of the most popular children’s books since its publication in The American Magazine in 1910. The story tells of childhood emotions and experiences while keeping the central theme - if something is cared for, it will thrive. The Secret Garden introduces us to a sour little girl, Mary Lennox, who is NOT a pleasure to be around. In fact, she yells like a little princess, can't make friends, and simply despises everything. She remains quite contrary until she helps her garden grow - and finds someone worse off than herself to bring along for the ride. Burnett was a British American novelist and playwright, best known for her novels Little Lord Fauntleroy , A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden . She regularly found inspiration through her observations of nature and the walled gardens at Maytham Hall in Kent England. The American Magazine published the first edition of The Secret Garden in 1910
