An abridged and elegantly illustrated edition of Frances Hodgson
Burnett's masterpiece.
A secret garden with a tragic past, an imposing estate in the English
countryside, a human-like robin, a bedridden boy named Colin, and a girl
named Mary who finds herself growing up in a mysterious and fascinating
environment, facing the difficulties of making new friendships. These
are the main ingredients that make The Secret Garden so unique. The
adventures of young Mary, a source of inspiration for generations of
readers of all ages, are embellished in this volume by the illustrations
of Mariachiara Di Giorgio. With her elegant, almost pictorial hand, Di
Giorgio portrays the enchantment of discovering a forgotten garden and
bringing it back to life.
