The strength of her characterizations pulls readers into the story, and the depth inherent in the seemingly simple plot continues to make this sometimes forgotten story as vital to the maturation of young readers as Tom Sawyer and Little Women. Hague's illustrations enhance the story beautifully, capturing as they do, both the old-fashioned and timeless quality of the tale. The charm, clarity, and muted tones of Hague's paintings add dimension to each part of the tale. A reissue of an old classic to be treasured by a new generation of children (and their parents)!

The Secret Garden / Frances Hodgson Burnett

Public ISBD Titre : The Secret Garden Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Frances Hodgson Burnett, Auteur Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1995 Collection : Penguin popular classics Importance : 276 p. Format : 18 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-062355-0 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Orphans-Fiction  Gardens-Fiction  People with disabilities-Fiction  Yorkshire (England)-Fiction. Résumé : It was the garden that did it - and Mary and Dickon and the creatures - and the Magic.' An orphaned girl, a grim moorland manor with hundreds of empty rooms, strange cries in the night, a walled garden, with its door locked and the key buried - and a boy who talks to animals. These are the ingredients of one of the most famous and well-loved of children's classics. Through her discovery of the secret garden, Mary Lennox is gradually transformed from a spoilt and unhappy child into a healthy, unselfish girl who in turn redeems her neglected cousin and his gloomy, Byronic father. Frances Hodgson Burnett's inspiring story of regeneration and salvation gently subverted the conventions of a century of romantic and gothic fiction for girls. After a hundred years, The Secret Garden's critique of empire and of attitudes to childhood and gender, and its advocacy of a holistic approach to health remains remarkably contemporary and relevant. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more The Secret Garden [texte imprimé] / Frances Hodgson Burnett, Auteur . - London (England) : Penguin Books, 1995 . - 276 p. ; 18 cm.. - (Penguin popular classics) .
