Sobre este artículo
London: Heinemann, 1911. First edition, first printing. Published by William Heinemann in London, 1911. A very good/near fine copy. One previous owner's name and date to the half-title. The boards are free from notable chips and marks and the text blocks are bright and white, some light foxing to the latter and preliminary pages. Top edge is fully blocked in green and complete. The eight beautiful full page colour plates by Charles Robinson are all complete and included, as is the tissue frontispiece. Some wear to the spine tips and corners. Overall, this is a very good or better copy and the basis for numerous films and television adaptations.
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
