Summary
Few children's classics can match the charm and originality of Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden, the unforgettable story of sullen, sulky Mary Lennox, "the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen." When a cholera epidemic leaves her as an orphan, Mary is sent to England to live with her reclusive uncle, Archibald Craven, at Misselthwaite Manor. Unloved and unloving, Mary wanders the desolate moors until one day she chances upon the door of a secret garden. What follows is one of the most beautiful tales of transformation in children's literature, as Mary her sickly and tyrannical cousin Colin and a peasant boy named Dickson secretly strive to make the garden bloom once more.
The person reading this audiobook had a lot of enthusiasm, however, the Yorkshire accent sounded fake and was quite difficult to endure. Additionally, the recording quality was inconsistent. There are multiple versions of "The Secret Garden" out there, so it's best to avoid this particular one. Instead, I highly recommend checking out the excellent rendition by Johanna Ward.
The narration of this story is absolutely stunning. The language used is incredibly lavish and exquisite. I highly recommend giving this a listen, whether you're a child or an adult. It's a must-have in your audiobook collection.
